Text:Let the Sunshine In
Author:Ada Blenkhorn
Tune:[Do you fear the foe will in the conflict win?]
Composer:Charles H. Gabriel

37. Let the Sunshine In

1 Do you fear the foe will in the conflict win?
Is it dark without you—darker still within?
Clear the darkened windows, open wide the door,
Let a little sunshine in.

Refrain:
Let a little sunshine in,
Let a little sunshine in;
Clear the darkened windows, open wide the door,
Let a little sunshine in.

2 Does your faith grow fainter in the cause you love?
Are your prayers unanswered by your God above?
Clear the darkened windows, open wide the door,
Let a little sunshine in. [Refrain]

3 Would you go rejoicing in the upward way,
Knowing naught of darkness, dwelling in the day?
Clear the darkened windows, open wide the door,
Let a little sunshine in. [Refrain]
