Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam 

“Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam,” Children’s Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 60–61

Happily

1. Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,
To shine for him each day;
In ev’ry way try to please him,
At home, at school, at play.

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

Chorus
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
I’ll be a sunbeam for him.

Words: Nellie Talbot

Music: Edwin O. Excell, 1851–1921
