Eliza Edmunds Stites Hewitt (1851-1920) Words: Eliza Edmunds Stites Hewitt, in Glad Hallelujahs, by William Kirkpatrick and John Sweney (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Thomas T. Tasker, Sr., 1887). Hewitt, a Philadelphia school teacher, suffered a severe back injury; after six months in a cast, she was finally able to take a simple walk in the park. The joy she felt at her recovery prompted these words.

John Robson Sweney (1837-1899)

There is sunshine in my soul today,
More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky,
For Jesus is my Light.

Refrain

O there's sunshine, blessèd sunshine,
When the peaceful, happy moments roll;
When Jesus shows His smiling face,
There is sunshine in the soul.

There is music in my soul today,
A carol to my King,
And Jesus, listening, can hear
The songs I cannot sing.

Refrain

There is springtime in my soul today,
For, when the Lord is near,
The dove of peace sings in my heart,
The flowers of grace appear.

Refrain

There is gladness in my soul today,
And hope and praise and love,
For blessings which He gives me now,
For joys "laid up" above.

Refrain
