1 Come out into the sunshine That sparkles ever bright; Why should we walk in darkness When Jesus is the light? 'Tis He who now before us, Unveils the golden rays That change the night of mourning To songs of joy and praise. Chorus: O welcome now the sunshine, While music thro the air Is borne aloft on seraph wings To yonder clime so fair; O welcome now its glory That sparkles ever bright, We do not walk in darkness, For Jesus is the light. 2 Come out into the sunshine Where pleasant pastures grow, And let us walk together, By cooling streams that flow; Among the hills and valleys, The harp of nature rings, And all the vast creation Adore the King of kings. 3 Come out into the sunshine And happy let us be, To know its beams of gladness, To ev'ry one are free; O dwell amid the sunshine Of pure and holy love; The gift of our Creator, Who sent it from above.
