Lyrics: Fill The World With Love
from Good-bye Mr. Chips
In the morning of my life I shall look to the sunrise.
At a moment in my life when the world is new.
And the blessing I shall ask is that God will grant me,
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through.
In the noontime of my life I shall look to the sunshine,
At a moment in my life when the sky is blue.
And the blessing I shall ask shall remain unchanging.
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through
In the evening of my life I shall look to the sunset,
At a moment in my life when the night is due.
And the question I shall ask only I can answer.
Was I brave and strong and true?
Did I fill the world with love my whole life through?
(Chorus)
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love my whole life through.

Do take a moment and try to find a visual, experiential version of this
uplifting song, sung by Petula Clark as well as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Wonderful, Marie.
ReplyDeleteYou know I have Ben Behunin's wall plaque with the Victor Hugo quote. It's a favorite. Those lyrics are great. On which Tab Choir CD is the song?
