A GLEAM OF SUNSHINE
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Md.

Let your life be a gleam of sunshine,
Your heart of the purest gold,
And scatter blessings around you,
Beauty and joy untold.

Let your life be a gleam of sunshine
Many are lonely and sad,
Help lighten burdens so heavy,
Making somebody happy and glad.

Let your life be a gleam of sunshine,
A fountain of comfort and cheer,
Strengthen the faith of the weary,
And drive away doubts and fears.

Let your life be a gleam of sunshine,
Sunshine that scatters the gloom,
The fountain of life ever flowing,
Living waters where flowers bloom.

Business combined with pleasure is sure to hinder the business.
