Be a Ray of Sunshine

lyricist: Anna Russell, 1917
Composer: George Stebbins

Be a ray of sun­shine ev­ery­where you go

Shining for the Sav­ior with a stea­dy glow;

Bringing smiles to sad ones

wip­ing tears away

Make your­self a bless­ing ev­ery pass­ing day.

Be a ray of sun­shine ev­ery­where you go

Shining for the Sav­ior with a stea­dy glow;

Be a ray of sun­shine filled with Heav­en’s light

Sending forth a mes­sage beau­ti­ful and bright.

Be a ray of sun­shine ev­ery­where you go;

Comfort bring to oth­ers

stoop to raise the low;

Kind words cost but lit­tle

smiles bring plea­sures

too;

They may lift a bur­den; let them not be few.

Be a ray of sun­shine ev­ery­where you go;

Cheerfulness is need­ed

this you can be­stow;

Help to chase the sha­dows from this world away

Bringing joy and glad­ness like a shin­ing ray.

Be a ray of sun­shine ev­ery­where you go;

Stars will shine the bright­er in your crown

I know;

Sunshine brought to oth­ers will re­flect on you

Heav’n will be the sweet­er—keep the end in view.
