You Can Make the Pathway Bright
by Helen Silcott Dungan
You can make the pathway bright,
Fill the soul with heaven's light
If there's sunshine in your heart.
Turning darkness into day,
As the shadows fly away
If there's sunshine in your heart today.
You can speak a gentle word
To the heart with anger stirred
If there's sunshine in your heart
Tho' it seems a little thing
It will Heaven's blessings bring
If there's sunshine in your heart today.
You can do a kindly deed
To your neighbor in his need
If there's sunshine in your heart.
And his burden you will share
As you lift his load of care
If there's sunshine in your heart today
You can live a happy life
In this world of toil and strife
If there's sunshine in your heart.
And your soul will fill with love
From the perfect light above
If there's sunshine in your heart today.
If there's sunshine in your heart
You can send a shining ray
That will turn the night to day
And your cares will all depart
If there's sunshine in your heart today
