Living in Sunlight

lyricist: Thomas Laney and James Boozer, 1912
Composer: James Boozer

Living in sun­light

beau­ti­ful sun­light

Shining from Heav­en thro’ the dark vale;

I am re­joic­ing

shout­ing His praises

On the old ship that soon will set sail.

Glory to God

I’m liv­ing in sun­light

Beaming with love

O glo­ry di­vine;

I am re­joic­ing all of my jour­ney

Living in sun­light

Je­sus is mine.

Living in sun­light

watch­ing and wait­ing

Pressing my way to man­sions above;

Jesus the light

in Him is no dark­ness

Ever I’ll trust His won­der­ful love.

Living in sun­light

heav­en­ly sun­light

Shining from glo­ry down in my soul;

Leading me up to beau­ti­ful man­sions

Where God’s child­ren nev­er grow old.

Living in sun­light

home­land is near­ing

All the dark sha­dows soon will be o’er;

Cheer up

O pil­grim

bells are now ring­ing

See the bright an­gels throng­ing the shore.
