Sunlight All the Way

lyricist: Mattie Boteler, 1909
Composer: Charles Gabriel

As we take our earth­ly jour­ney

There’s a path of joy and love

Where the Sav­ior sheds

His smile from day to day;

And the ones who ful­ly trust Him

Tho’ the clouds hang dark ab­ove

Will be walk­ing in the sun­light all the way.

In the sun­light

in the sun­light!

If we walk in faith be­liev­ing ev­ery day;

In the sun­light

in the sun­light!

We’ll be walk­ing in the sunl­ight all the way.

Oft we jour­ney on dis­cour­aged

Over ma­ny a wea­ry mile

Just be­cause we fail

To catch love’s beam­ing ray

When we might have Christ the Mas­ter

Our com­pan­ion all the while

And be walk­ing in the sun­light all the way.

Tho’ the light of sin and fol­ly

May the care­less feet al­lure

Yet their plea­sures soon

Are spent and pass away

But the saved have joys ab­ound­ing

That for­ev­er­more en­dure

And are walk­ing in the sun­light all the way.

When this life on earth is end­ed

And before our rap­tured sight

There shall dawn the gleam

Of Heav’n’s eter­nal day;

Thro’ that fair and ho­ly ci­ty

Where there comes no shade of night

We’ll be walk­ing in the sun­light all the way.
