1. As the sunshine on the rain cloud
Makes the rainbow in the sky,
As the dewdrops brightly sparkle
Neath the sunshine up on high,
So the smiling face of Jesus
Shining on the darkened soul,
Changes it to wondrous glory,
As the shadows backward roll.
Chorus:
When Jesus shines in—
When Jesus shines in—
His glory can brighten
A dark world of sin,
As sunshine on shadow
Makes rainbows above,
So bright glory lingers
Where shineth His love.
2. O the glory of His presence
Shining on the world of sin,
Painting rainbows on the shadows,
When you let the Savior in;
Oh the sunshine of the Master,
How it leaves a glory bright
On the shadows where it lingers,
With a holy precious light.
3. Will you let the light of Jesus
Shine into your soul today?
It will brighten all the shadows,
Which it does not drive away;
As the sunshine on the storm cloud
Makes the rainbow up above,
Christ will change your cloud to glory,
By the power of His love.
