Only a beam of
sunshine,
But oh, it was
warm and
bright;
The heart of a
weary traveler
Was cheered by
its welcome
sight.
Only a beam of
sunshine;
That fell from
the arch above:
And tenderly,
softly
whispered
A message of
peace and love.
Refrain
Only a word for
Jesus,
Only a
whispered
prayer,
Over some grief
worn spirit
May rest like a
sunbeam fair!
Only a beam
of sunshine
That into a
dwelling crept;
Where, over a
fading rosebud,
A mother her
vigil kept.
Only a beam of
sunshine
That smiled
through her
falling tears,
And showed her
the bow of
promise,
Forgotten
perhaps for
years.
Refrain
Only a word
for Jesus,
Oh, speak it in
His dear Name,
To perishing
souls around
you
The message of
love proclaim.
Go, like the
faithful
sunbeam,
Your mission of
joy fulfill;
Remember the
Savior’s
promise,
That He will be
with you still.
Refrain
