I'll Be a Sunbeam

I'll Be a Sunbeam

"I'll Be a Sunbeam" (often titled "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam") is a popular children's Christian hymn composed by Nellie Talbot; it is sung to music composed in 1900 by Ed­win O. Ex­cell.

Lyrics

:Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,:To shine for Him each day;:In every way try to please Him,:At home, at school, at play.

:Refrain

:A sunbeam, a sunbeam,:Jesus wants me for a sunbeam;:A sunbeam, a sunbeam,:I’ll be a sunbeam for Him.

:Jesus wants me to be loving,:And kind to all I see;:Showing how pleasant and happy:His little one can be.

:Refrain

:I will ask Jesus to help me:To keep my heart from sin,:Ever reflecting His goodness,:And always shine for Him.

:Refrain

:I’ll be a sunbeam for Jesus;:I can if I but try;:Serving Him moment by moment,:Then live with Him on high.

:Refrain
