Sunlight in the Heart

There is sun­light on the hill­top

There is sun­light on the sea;

And the gold­en beams are sleep­ing

On the soft and ver­dant lea;

But a rich­er light is fill­ing

All the cham­bers of my heart;

For Thou dwell­est there

my Sav­ior

And ’tis sun­light where Thou art.

O the sun­light! beau­ti­ful sun­light!

O the sun­light in the heart!

Jesus’ smile can ban­ish sad­ness;

It is sun­light in the heart.

In the dust I leave my sad­ness

As the garb of oth­er days;

For Thou rob­est me with glad­ness

And Thou fill­est me with praise;

And to that bright home of glo­ry

Which Thy love hath won for me

In my heart and mind as­cend­ing

My glad spir­it fol­lows Thee.

Loving Sav­ior

Thou hast bought me

And my life

my all

is Thine;

Let the lamp Thy love hath light­ed

To Thy praise and glo­ry shine;

And to that bright home of glo­ry

Which Thy love hath won for me

In my heart and mind as­cend­ing

My glad spir­it foll­ows Thee.
