Sunshine in Your Heart

I did not include any dynamics, tempo, or expression marks.  As you are playing the notes, think "Jane Austen Romantic Movie Music"  Play slowly, legato, with romantic sweeping gestures (like Debussy).  When writing the song I wanted it to be a musical sunrise, reminiscent of the scene when Mr. Darcy is walking slowly through the fog to embrace Jane.  The song is a hymn arrangement for #228 You can Make the Pathway Bright.  I also posted the parts and added lyrics and choir instructions.

Being one not just a part (men sing- Be one with) Sunshine in your
