1 Stand out of my sunlight: I love its bright glow,
My soul cannot live in the darkness I know.
My feet cannot walk where the wicked have trod,
I live in the sunlight, the sunlight of God.

Refrain:
Stand out of my sunlight! I need its bright rays,
To light up my pathway, and help me to praise;
My sins are forgiven, all washed in the blood;
I’m walking in sunlight, the sunlight of God.

2 Stand out of my sunlight, thou tempter of men,
My soul will not yield to thy bondage again.
And tho’ thy temptations may come like a flood,
I’ll walk in the sunlight, the sunlight of God. [Refrain]

3 Stand out of my sunlight, earth’s pleasures so gay;
Thy shadows, no more, shall be cast o’er my way;
My soul is not lured by the world’s senseless clod,
I long for the sunlight, the sunlight of God. [Refrain]

4 Stand out of my sunlight; life’s billows of care
Shall never o’erflow, while I linger in prayer.
My spirit is free, and upheld by His rod,
While walking in sunlight, the sunlight of God. [Refrain]
