Scatter the Sunbeams

lyricist: Lucy Tenney, 1881
Composer: John Tenney

Scatter the sun­beams! send forth the light;

Drive back the sha­dows of sor­row’s dark night.

Show to the cheer­less

Je­sus the way;

Point to the re­gions of heav­en­ly day.

Scatter the sun­beams

the bright gold­en sun­beams

Scatter the sun­beams

the sun­beams of love.

Scatter the sun­beams! cheer with thy smile;

Bless oth­er souls by a heart with­out guile;

Strive by kind act­ions wan­d’rers to win

Back from the by­paths of er­ror and sin.

Scatter the sun­beams! hope beam­eth bright

Bathed is her fore­head with ra­di­ant light!

Shed forth that bright­ness where’er you go

Blessing and bless­èd

your life’s jour­ney through.
