Heavenly Sunshine

From Norman Cazden, Herbert Haufrecht, Norman Studer, Folk Songs
of the Catskills, #80, p. 305. From the singing of Mrs. Henry Terbusch

Oh sunshine, heavenly sunshine,
Flooding my soul with glory Divine,
Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine,
Hallelujah, Jesus is mine.
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness,
All along the golden twilight,
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness,
All along the golden twilight,
That's what he knows, my Lord,
All along for [...]
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness,
All along the golden twilight,

(Apparently sung as a medley with "My Lord Knows the Way.")

Notes

Not to be confused with the Carter Family song "Sunshine in the Shadows" or "Sunshine in the Mountains," which is also properly titled "Heavenly Sunshine." - RBW
