Lyrics: 1 Sunbeams of glory illuminate my soul, Darkness gone forever, My Saviour has control; Gone is my sorrow While Jesus I can see; Love hast told the story, Love of God for me. Refrain: Sunbeams of glory! Love is the story! Let the blessed tidings onward roll! Sunbeams of glory! Sunbeams of glory! Shining, brightly shining in my soul! 2 O tell me never that Christ is not a friend! I have often proved Him, And on Him now depend; Come, O ye weary, Tho’ laden down with care, He, your blessed Saviour, Will your burden share. [Refrain] 3 Trusting in Jesus I find a sweet repose, Peacefully and onward My life’s great river flows; Each day is sweeter, The moments gently glide; Rests my soul contented, Jesus will provide.

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Sunbeams of glory illuminate my soul]" in Songs of Help William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
