Misty Moisty Days
October 22, 2014
The misty, moist, stormy, blustery wet winter has arrived here, with its lack of sunshine. Perhaps a watery kiss every once in a while, if we are lucky.
Life on the west coast of B.C.
No matter how the weather is out there, we can have sunshine in our soul. Here is a copy of the words to that old song for all of you in need of some “Sonshine” today!
Let the “flowers of grace appear”!

“Sunshine in my Soul”
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 my 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
This is one of the happiest sounding hymns in the whole hymnal.
Eliza Hewitt was a school teacher who taught at the Northern Home for Friendless Children. At age 35, she was struck by an unruly student with a slate, severely injuring her back. The doctors put her in a heavy cast for six months. When the cast was removed, she was told to take a short walk in the nearby Fairmont Park. She was overcome with joy that she could walk and wrote this hymn.
