Let the Cheering Sunbeams Fly

lyricist: J. W. Carpenter, 1904
Composer: James Burchit

You have known the Mas­ter

bless­èd Mas­ter

You have known His mer­cy and His love;

You have caught the sun­beams

cheer­ing sun­beams

Gently fall­ing from the skies ab­ove.

Scatter the sun­beams

cheer­ing bright sun­beams;

Darkened hearts for sun­light cry;

Bear the news of mer­cy

tell the news of Je­sus

Let the cheer­ing sun­beams fly.

You have seen the sun­beams

cheer­ing sun­beams

Chasing sha­dows from the cloud­ed sky;

You have seen the dawn­ing

won­drous dawn­ing

Coming

glo­ri­ous

when the sun­beams fly.

You have seen the sun­beams

cheer­ing sun­beams

Following show­ers on the fields new sown;

You have seen the har­vest

gold­en har­vest

Safely gar­nered

with the ear full grown.
