I Would Be a Little Sunbeam

I would be a lit­tle sun­beam

Shining bright­ly all the day

With its light and joy and glad­ness

Driving all the clouds away.

Shining

shin­ing

Shining ev­er bright and fair;

Shining

shin­ing

Shedding sun­light ev­ery­where;

Shining ev­ery day for Je­sus

Like a sun­beam pure and fair;

Driving out the gloom and sad­ness

Shedding sun­light ev­ery­where.

I would be a lit­tle sun­beam

And with hap­py smile or song

Cheer the hearts of those around me—

Make them cheer­ful

brave and strong.

I would be a lit­tle sun­beam

Help me

Je­sus

so to shine;

May the light of Thy dear Spir­it

Fill this lit­tle heart of mine.
