Lyrics

Trusting Je­sus, won­der­ful guide,
In His keep­ing safe­ly abide;
Joys eter­nal He will im­part;
Get God’s sun­shine in­to your heart.

Refrain

Get God’s sun­shine in­to your heart,
Get God’s sun­shine into your heart,
It will cheer you all the day,
Drive the gloom of life away,
If you get God’s sun­shine in­to your heart.

Wondrous pro­mise He will ful­fill,
Gladly do­ing His ho­ly will;
Peace un­end­ing He will im­part,
Get God’s sun­shine in­to your heart.

Refrain

Friend of sin­ners, ever the same,
Willing Sav­ior, praise His dear name,
Full for­giv­eness He will im­part,
Get God’s sun­shine in­to your heart.
