Verse 1. There is sunshine in my soul to-day,
More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky;
For Jesus is my light.
Refrain Oh, there’s sunshine, blessèd sunshine,
When the peaceful, happy moments roll;
When Jesus shows His smiling face,
There is sunshine in my soul.
Verse 2. There is music in my soul to-day,
A carol to my King;
And Jesus, listening, can hear
The songs I cannot sing.
Verse 3. There is springtime in my soul to-day;
For, when the Lord is near,
The dove of peace sings in my heart,
The flowers of grace appear.
Verse 4. There is gladness in my soul to-day,
And hope, and praise, and love;
For blessings which He gives me now,
For joys laid up above.
The refrain is sung after each verse.
