There Is Sunlight on the Hilltop

Verse 1

There is sunlight on the hilltop, There is sunlight on the sea, And the golden beams are sleeping, On the soft and verdant lea; But a richer light is filling All the chambers of my heart; For thou dwellest there my Saviour, And 'tis sunlight where thou art.

Chorus

O the sunlight! beautiful sunlight! O the sunlight in the heart! Jesus' smile can banish sadness; It is sunlight in the heart.

Verse 2

In the dust I leave my sadness, As the garb of other days, For thou robest me with gladness, And thou fillest me with praise; And to that bright home of glory Which thy love hath won for me, In my heart and mind ascending, My glad spirit follows thee.

Verse 3

Loving Saviour, thou hast bought me, And my life, my all, is thine; Let the lamp thy love hath lighted To thy praise and glory shine; And to that bright home of glory Which thy love hath won for me, In my heart and mind ascending, My glad spirit follows thee.
