15016. Scatter The Sunbeams

1 Scatter the sunbeams! send forth the light;
Drive back the shadows of sorrow’s dark night.
Show to the cheerless, Jesus the way;
Point to the regions of heavenly day.

Refrain:
Scatter the sunbeams, the bright golden sunbeams,
Scatter the sunbeams, the sunbeams of love.

2 Scatter the sunbeams! cheer with thy smile;
Bless other souls by a heart without guile;
Strive by kind actions wand’rers to win,
Back from the bypaths of error and sin. [Refrain]

3 Scatter the sunbeams! hope beameth bright,
Bathed is her forehead with radiant light!
Shed forth that brightness where’er you go,
Blessing and blessèd, your life’s journey through. [Refrain]
