Send Out the Sunlight

Send out the sun­light

the sun­light of cheer

Shine on earth’s sad­ness till it dis­ap­pear—

Souls are in wait­ing this mes­sage to hear

Send out the sun­light of love.

Send out the sun­light of love

Send out the sun­light of love

Send out the sun­light

Send out the sun­light

Send out the sun­light of love.

Send out the sun­light in let­ter and word;

Speak it and think it till hearts are all stirred—

Hearts that are hun­gry for pray­ers still un­heard

Send out the sun­light of love.

Send out the sun­light each hour and each day

Crown all the years with its lu­mi­nous ray

Nourish the seeds that are sown on the way

Send out the sun­light of love.

Send out the sun­light that speaks in a smile

Often it short­ens the long

wea­ry mile

Often the bur­den seems light for a while

Send out the sun­light of love.

Send out the sun­light

as free as the air!

Blessings will fol­low with none to com­pare.

Blessings of peace

that will rise from des­pair!

Send out the sun­light of love.

Send out the sun­light

you have it in you!

Clouds may ob­scure it just now from your view;

Pray for its pre­sence! Your pray­er will come true

Send out the sun­light of love!
