Would you be a sunbeam
Filled with Heaven’s light,
Shedding forth its beauty
Over scenes of night?
In this world of sorrow,
Sickness, sin and woe,
Try to be a blessing
Everywhere you go.

Refrain

Be a blessing on life’s weary mile,
Be a blessing with a word or smile;
Be a blessing, everywhere the same;
Try to be a blessing
In the Master’s name.

Where the tears are falling
And the hearts are sad,
Take some Gospel message
That will make them glad;
Strive to give them comfort
By some loving deed,
Try to be a blessing
In the time of need.

Refrain

Just a cup of water
For the Master’s sake
May sweet chords of music
In some bosom wake;
Seek to help some pilgrim
T’ward the golden land,
Try to be a blessing,
Both with voice and hand.

Refrain

If you follow Jesus
All along life’s way,
You will help to brighten
Every hour and day:
Would you shine in glory
Brighter than the sun?
Try to be a blessing
Till your work is done.

Refrain
