This hymn was written by Henry J. Zelley (1859-1942) who was a Methodist minister. Little is known about the composer, George H. Cook (1864-1946 or 1948). Around 1899 Cook composed the music and brought it to Zelley, asking him to provide words for it. It was then published in Gospel Praises (1899).

~Lyrics~
1. Walking in sunlight, all of my journey,
Over the mountains, thro’ the deep vale;
Jesus has said, “I’ll never forsake thee,”
Promise divine that never can fail.
[CHORUS]
Heavenly sunlight, heavenly sunlight,
Flooding my soul with glory divine;
Hallelujah, I am rejoicing
Singing His praises, Jesus is mine.
2. Shadows around me, shadows above me,
Never conceal my Savior and Guide;
He is the light, in Him is no darkness,
Ever I’m walking close to His side.
[CHORUS]
3. In the bright sunlight, ever rejoicing,
Pressing my way to mansions above;
Singing His praises, gladly I’m walking,
Walking in sunlight, sunlight of love.
[CHORUS]
