This song, "Heavenly Sunlight" is the perfect tune to hum as we walk and work on this sunny, almost-spring day:
"Walking in sunlight, all of my journey,
Over the mountains, through the deep vale;
Jesus has said, "I'll never forsake thee",
Promise divine that never shall fail.
Chorus:
Heavenly sunlight, heavenly sunlight,
Flooding my soul with glory divine;
Hallelujah! I am rejoicing,
Singing His praises, Jesus is mine.
Shadows around me, shadows above me,
Never conceal my Savior and Guide;
He is the light, in Him is no darkness,
Ever I'm walking, close to His side.
In the bright sunlight, ever rejoicing,
Pressing my way to mansions above;
Singing His praises, gladly I'm walking,
Walking in sunlight, sunlight of love."

(I remember this song, especially the chorus, from childhood singing at church. We sang it as "Heavenly Sunshine", however.)
