Live In The Joy Of Today (Beautiful Sunshine)

Walk in the beautiful sunshine,

Smiling so cheerful and bright,

Chasing the mist from the mountain,

Flooding the world with its light.

Wild Asters and Lichen cover boulders

on the top of Mt. Scott

Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge

Hark! the sweet voice of the Master

Whispers in accents divine,

"Take thou no thought for the morrow,

Only the present is thine."

Walk in the beautiful sunshine,

Falling in waves from the skies,

Gilding the streams and the valleys,

Scattering the shadows that rise.

Here the sweet voice of the Spirit

Softly and tenderly say,

"Trust for what may be tomorrow,

Live in the joy of today."

Walk in the beautiful sunshine,

Jesus thy footsteps will guide;

While thou art safe in His keeping,

Evil can never betide.

Hear the sweet voice of His mercy

Kindly and lovingly say,

"God will take care of the morrow,

Be thou content with today."

Walk in the beautiful sunshine,

Smiling so cheerful and bright,

Chasing the mist from the mountain,

Flooding the world with its light.
