Give of Your Sunshine

O give of your sun­shine to oth­ers!

The world’s full of sor­row and care

And ma­ny a heart will be light­ened

If you will your sun­shine but share.

You know not what heart may be faint­ing

’Neath grief you may help to al­lay;

O bind up the poor brok­en­heart­ed

And give them your sun­shine to­day.

O give of your sun­shine to oth­ers

And bright­en the world while you may;

There’s life-giv­ing power in sun­shine

O scat­ter it free­ly to­day.

O give of your sun­shine to oth­ers

’Tis better than sil­ver or gold;

For many of life’s rich­est trea­sures

Can be nei­ther pur­chased or sold.

When Je­sus blest earth with His pre­sence

It was not of wealth that He gave

But sym­pa­thy

ten­der­ness

mer­cy

And love that has pow­er to save.

O give of your sun­shine to others

Some soul to right paths it may win;

May strength­en a weak one that’s tempt­ed

And keep him from yield­ing to sin.

A word

fit­ly spok­en

has pow­er

To up­lift and strength­en the heart;

To wea­ry and heav­ily la­den

’Twill cour­age and com­fort im­part.
