Lesson:

1. If I were a sunbeam,


I know what I'd do;


I would seek white lilies,


Roaming woodlands through.


I would steal among them,


Softest light I'd shed,


Until every lily


Raised its drooping head.





2. If I were a sunbeam,


I know where I'd go;


Into lowly hovels,


Dark with want and woe:


Till sad hearts looked upward,


I would shine and shine;


Then they'd think of heaven,


Their sweet home and mine.





3. Are you not a sunbeam,


Child, whose life is glad


With an inner brightness


Sunshine never had?


Oh, as God has blessed you,


Scatter light divine!


For there is no sunbeam


But must die or shine.
