1. 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.
(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
2. 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
Will remain unchanging:
To be brave and strong and true,
And to 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.
3. 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?
