Sunlight in the Heart

1There is sunlight on the hilltop, There is sunlight on the sea;
In the dust I leave my sadness, At the gate of other days;
O loving Saviour, thou hast bought me, And my life, my all, is thine.

RefrainO the sunlight! beautiful sunlight! O the sunlight in the heart!

2And the golden beams are sleeping, On the soft and verdant lea;
For thou dost see me with gladness, And thou fillest all my praise;
Let the lamp thy love hath lighted To thy praise and glory shine.

3But a richer light is filling All the chambers of my heart;
And to that bright home of glory Which thy love hath won for me,
And to that bright home of glory Which thy love hath won for me.

4For thou dwell'st there, my Saviour, And 'tis sunlight where thou art;
In my heart and mind ascending, My glad spirit follows thee,
In my heart and mind ascending, My glad spirit follows thee.
