98. Carry the Sunshine

1 Carry the sunshine with us,
While cheerily on we go;
Strong in our youthful vigor,
The seed of the word to sow.

Chorus:
Carry the sunshine, carry the sunshine,
Scatter its beams around;
Then shall we see, with gladness,
The fruitage of grace abound.

2 Carry the sunshine with us,
And follow our Lord's command;
Work while the daylight lingers,
And work with a tireless hand. [Chorus]

3 Carry the sunshine with us,
To those that have missed it long;
Whisper the name of Jesus,
And tell of his love in song. [Chorus]

4 Carry the sunshine with us
In all that we do and say;
Lift from the heart its burden,
And banish the clouds away. [Chorus]
