Heavenly Sunlight
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 can fail.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
Words: Henry J. Zelley, 1899.
I remember singing this song as Heavenly Sunshine not Sunlight.
The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
Ah, bliss!
This hymn brought such a wonderful memory for me, Ellen, I can just see my grandmother sitting in her chair singing this beautiful hymn as well as many others, but this was a favorite of hers. Thank you for sharing, have a blessed day,

Yes I remember singing it was a chorus in Sunday school.
“Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine
flooding my soul with glory divine.
Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine
Hallelujah, Jesus is mine”
Thank you for sharing the original.
…Ellen, I hope that you are having a wonderful Sunday.
I remember “Sunshine,” too.
Another favorite of mine that we sing often at church!!
Perfect photo to accompany this hymn. And thanks for the reminder — i’m collecting some hymns for a sing, and the topic is heaven.
