Had We Only Sunshine All The Year Around – Hymn Lyric
Had we only sunshine all the year around,
Without the blessing of refreshing rain,
Would we scatter seed upon the fallow ground,
And hope to gather flowers, fruit and grain?
Chorus:
Sunshine and rain, refreshing, reviving rain,
Light of faith and love,
Showers from above!
Sunshine and rain, to nurture the growing grain,
Send us, Lord, the sunshine and the rain.
Had we not a sorrow or a cross to bear,
For Him who bore the burden of our sin,
Would we know the sweetness of His love and care,
Or even strive eternal joys to win?
Chorus:
Can we prize the sunshine and deplore the rain,
Repining when the days are dark and drear?
Can we hope for pleasures yet deny the pain,
Or share the joys of life without the tear?
Meaning of Had We Only Sunshine All The Year Around
Oh, what a beautiful hymn we have here! Its all about appreciating both the sunshine and the rain in our lives. Just like how we need both sunshine and rain to make the flowers bloom and the crops grow, we also need to experience joy and sorrow to truly appreciate all the blessings life has to offer.
Imagine if we only had sunshine all the time. Sure, it would be nice to bask in the warmth of the sun every day, but without the refreshing rain, our world would be dry and barren. The rain is what nourishes the land, helping plants to grow and thrive. Its like how our struggles and challenges help us to grow and become stronger individuals.
And what if we never had to face any sorrow or hardship? We might take for granted the love and care that others show us, especially the love that Jesus has for us. Its through our trials and tribulations that we come to realize just how much we are loved and cared for, and how much we need to rely on our faith to get us through.
Sometimes we may find ourselves wishing for only happiness and joy, without any pain or suffering. But just like how we cant have a rainbow without a little rain, we cant fully appreciate the good times without experiencing the tough times as well. Its all part of the beautiful tapestry of life that God has woven for us.
So lets remember to embrace both the sunshine and the rain in our lives. Lets take joy in the sunny days, but also find strength in the rainy ones. And lets be grateful for both the blessings and the challenges that come our way, knowing that they all play a part in shaping us into the best versions of ourselves.
May we always have the wisdom to see the sunshine and the rain as gifts from above, and may we have the faith to trust that Gods plan for us is always perfect, even when we cant see the bigger picture. So lets sing out our praises for the sunshine and the rain, knowing that they both have a special role to play in our lives.
