Come Over On the Sunny Side

Representative Text

1 Is your path a cloudy, dreary way?
Come over on the sunny side,
And the Lord will brighten every day;
Come over on the sunny side.

Refrain:
Come over, come over,
Over on the sunny side;
Here is joy and gladness, life and light;
Come over on the sunny side.

2 Is your life a gloomy vale of tears?
Come over on the sunny side,
And the Lord will drive away your fears;
Come over on the sunny side. [Refrain]

3 Are you seeking joy, and peace, and rest?
Come over on the sunny side;
There is comfort for each aching breast;
Come over on the sunny side. [Refrain]

4 Do you want the seeds of love to grow?
Come over on the sunny side;
And the fruits of sweet contentment show?
Come over on the sunny side. [Refrain]
