" Only a beam of sunshine "--- But oh, it was warm and bright ; The heart of a weary traveller Was cheered by its welcome sight. " Only a beam of sunshine " That fell from the arch above : And tenderly, softly whispered A message of peace and love.
Only a word for Jesus------ Only a whispered prayer------ Over some grief-worn spirit May rest like a sunbeam fair !
2. " Only a beam of sunshine " That into a dwelling crept ; Where, over a fading rosebud, A mother her vigil kept. " Only a beam of sunshine " That smiled through her falling tears, And showed her the bow of promise, Forgotten perhaps for years.
3. Only a word for Jesus, Oh, speak it in His dear name ; To perishing souls around you The message of love proclaim. Go, like the faithful sunbeam, Your mission of joy fulfil ; Remember the Saviour's promise----- That He will be with you still.
