Live in the Sunlight

Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Hymnal: Songs of Praise and Salvation #36 (1902) First Line: Why walk in the darkness and shadows of night Refrain First Line: Then live in the sunlight, beautiful, heavenly sunlight Lyrics: 1 Why walk in the darkness and shadows of night, When sunlight so full and so free Is streaming around with its radiance bright To lighten the pathway for thee? Refrain: Then live in the sunlight, beautiful, heavenly sunlight, Trusting in Jesus and looking above; Then live in the sunlight, beautiful, heavenly sunlight, Live in the sunlight, the sunlight of love. 2 Why bearing thy burden of sorrow so long, Alone and unaided, when He Whose heart is so kind and whose arm is so string, Thy great Burden-bearer would be? [Refrain] 3 The clouds shall all scatter when “God is thy light,” No more earthly shadows shall fall; And visions of rapture shall burst on thy sight, “In Him is no darkness at all.” [Refrain] Scripture: 1 John 1:5 Tune Title: [Why walk in the darkness and shadows of night]

Mrs. C. H. Morris

1862 - 1929 Author of "Live in the Sunlight" Lelia (Mrs. C.H.) Morris (1862-1929) was born in Pennsville, Morgan County, Ohio. When her family moved to Malta on the Muskingum River she and her sister and mother had a millinery shop in McConnelsville. She and her husband Charles H. Morris were active in the Methodist Episcopal Church and at the camp meetings in Sebring and Mt. Vernon. She wrote hymns as she did her housework. Although she became blind at age 52 she continued to write hymns on a 28-foot long blackboard that her family had built for her. She is said to have written 1000 texts and many tunes including "Sweeter as the years go by." Mary Louise VanDyke
