Come Out in the Sunshine

1Come out in the sunshine!
O gather its wealth!
There's joy in the sunshine,
And beauty and health.
Why stay in the shadow?
Why weep in the gloom?
Come out in the sunshine,
And let your soul bloom.

RefrainO beautiful healing light,
Sent down from the courts above,
Thou makest the darkness bright With the smile of God's tender love.

2A flow'r in the shadow Will lose its bright hue, 'Twill weary and wither,
And so 'tis with you.
We fade in the shadow Of thought or of room;
But out in the sunshine We blossom and bloom.

3Come out in the sunshine!
O hear Love's sweet voice!
And all holy spirits With you will rejoice.
You'll sing with the angels.
Wherever you go,
You'll gladly tell others The way out of woe.

4Live out in the sunshine,
Till Jesus appears,
Then share in His glory Thro' love's endless years.
O dwell in His presence,
Where no shadow mars;
Reflecting His beauty,
You'll shine as the stars.
