Lyrics

Is your path a cloudy, drea­ry way?
Come ov­er on the sun­ny side,
And the Lord will bright­en ev­ery day;
Come ov­er on the sun­ny side.

Refrain

Come ov­er, come ov­er,
Over on the sun­ny side;
Here is joy and glad­ness, life and light;
Come ov­er on the sun­ny side.

Is your life a gloomy vale of tears?
Come ov­er on the sun­ny side,
And the Lord will drive away your fears;
Come ov­er on the sun­ny side.

Refrain

Are you seek­ing joy, and peace, and rest?
Come ov­er on the sun­ny side;
There is com­fort for each ach­ing breast;
Come ov­er on the sun­ny side.

Refrain

Do you want the seeds of love to grow?
Come ov­er on the sun­ny side;
And the fruits of sweet con­tent­ment show?
Come ov­er on the sun­ny side.
