There is sunlight on the hilltop,

by M. T. Haughey

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 612 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

There is sunlight on the hilltop, There is sunlight on the sea; And the golden beams are sleeping, On the soft and verdant lea; But a richer light is filling All the chambers of my heart; For Thou dwellest there, my Saviour, And 'tis sunlight where Thou art.

Refrain

O the sunlight! beautiful sunlight! O the sunlight in the heart! Jesus' smile can banish sadness; It is sunlight in the heart.

Verse 2

In the dust I leave my sadness, As the garb of other days; For Thou robest me with gladness, And Thou fillest me with praise; And to that bright home of glory Which Thy love hath won for me, In my heart and mind ascending, My glad spirit follows Thee.

Verse 3

Loving Saviour, Thou hast bought me, And my life, my all, is Thine; Let the lamp Thy love hath lighted To Thy praise and glory shine; And to that bright home of glory Which Thy love hath won for me, In my heart and mind ascending, My glad spirit follows Thee.
