Try to car­ry sun­shine
Everywhere you go;
Try to bright­en, some way,
Lives of those you know.
If the day be drea­ry,
And the way seem long,
Try to make it bright­er
By a bit of song.

Refrain

Try to carry sun­shine
Everywhere you go;
Try to bright­en, some way,
Lives of those you know;
Try to car­ry sun­shine
Everywhere you go.

Try to be a sun­beam
Shining for the Lord,
Living in His pre­sence,
Feeding on His word.
Storms may ov­er­take you,
Fearful in their might;
Trust to Je­sus’ guid­ing,
For with Him ’tis light.

Refrain

If you walk with Je­sus,
Joyfully each day,
Trying to tell oth­ers
Of the bless­èd way,
Never fear temp­ta­tion,
He’ll not let you fall;
Christ, the Lord, is near you
When on Him you call.

Refrain

If your life is glad­some,
Full of joy and love,
It will point to Je­sus,
And the life above.
If you are but faith­ful
Thro’ life’s lit­tle day,
You may show to oth­ers
God’s ap­point­ed way.

Refrain
