Be A Ray of Sunshine
Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go,
Shining for the Savior with a steady glow;
Bringing smiles to sad ones, wiping tears away,
Make yourself a blessing every passing day.
Refrain
Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go,
Shining for the Savior with a steady glow;
Be a ray of sunshine filled with Heaven’s light,
Sending forth a message beautiful and bright.
Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go;
Comfort bring to others, stoop to raise the low;
Kind words cost but little, smiles bring pleasures, too;
They may lift a burden; let them not be few.
Refrain
Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go;
Cheerfulness is needed, this you can bestow;
Help to chase the shadows from this world away,
Bringing joy and gladness like a shining ray.
Refrain
Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go;
Stars will shine the brighter in your crown, I know;
Sunshine brought to others will reflect on you,
Heav’n will be the sweeter—keep the end in view.
Refrain
words by Anna B. Russell, 1917
Oh I like this one. I’ve never heard it.
Oh Ellen, you captured a glorious scene, and the words are a wonderful challenge to our souls.
I don’t know how you do it Ellen B., but your ocean pics are the most beautiful I’ve seen. This sounds like a sweet little children hymn. I’d love to know the melody.
I hope you have a great day today and happy birthday to sweet Miss Hope. I love that she has a weence title.

That’s more or a beam or floodlight than a ray!
It seems that I remember those words but I can’t come up with a tune for it.
Great picture choice for this hymn!
