Let the Cheering Sunbeams Fly by J. W. Carpenter

You have known the Master, blessed Master,
You have known His mercy and His love;
You have caught the sunbeams, cheering sunbeams,
Gently falling from the skies above.
- Refrain:
  Scatter the sunbeams, cheering, bright sunbeams—
  Darkened hearts for sunlight cry;
  Bear the news of mercy, tell the love of Jesus,
  Let the cheering sunbeams fly.
You have seen the sunbeams, cheering sunbeams,
Chasing shadows from the clouded sky;
You have seen the dawning, wondrous dawning,
Coming, glorious, when the sunbeams fl...

Savior, lead me lest I stray,
Gently lead me all the way;
I am safe when by Thy side,
I would in Thy love abide.
- Refrain:
  Lead me, lead me,
  Savior, lead me lest I stray;
  Gently down the stream of time,
  Lead me, Savior, all the way.
Thou the refuge of my soul
When life’s stormy billows roll;
I am safe when Thou art nigh,
All my hopes on Thee rely.
Savior, lead me then at last,
When the storm of life is past,
To the land of endless day,
Where all tears are wiped away.

We are bound for Canaan land,
Tenting by the way;
Who shall lead us on the road?
Choose your king today.

  We will serve the Lord.”
Many trials we have seen
Thus far on our way;
He has led us safely through—
Shall He lead today?
When the dark Red Sea of doubt
Billowed in our way,
Then He parted every wave—
So He will today.
Can we safely trust a guide
Who knows not the way?
God has traveled every foot,
Shall He lead toda...

Leaving all to follow Jesus,
Turning from the world away,
Stepping out upon the promise,
All I have is His today.
- Refrain:
  Leaving all to follow Jesus,
  Turning from the world away,
  Stepping out upon His promise,
  All I have is His today.
Naught reserving, on the altar
All I lay, and wait the hour
When the fire from Heav’n descending
Shall attest His glorious pow’r.
Taking up the cross of Jesus,
Glad for Him to suffer shame,
All my gain I count but losses
For the glory of His name.
Praise His precious name ...
