In A Country Churchyard (let Your Love Shine On) lyrics

In a country churchyard there's a Preacher with his people,
Gathered all
around to join a man and woman,
Spring is here and turtledoves are singing
from the steeple,
Bees are in the flowers, growing in the graveyard,
And over the hill, where the river meets the mill,
A lovely girl is
coming down
To give her hand upon her wedding day...
Dressed in
simple white and wearing flowers in her hair,
Music as she walks slowly to
the altar,
And picking up his bible then the Preacher turns towards her,
"Will you take this man to be your wedded husband,
To houour and love in
the eyes of God above,
Now let the poeple sing with me
These words to
live forever in your heart...
Let your love shine on
For we are the
stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong
Until the
 day you
fly away"
Many years have fallen on that golden country morning,
The
graveyard's overgrown, the church it lies in ruins,
Ivy on the walls and
ravens wheeling round above me
As I made my way towards the last remaining
headstone,
I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves,
And
suddenly it seemed to me
I heard the words like singing in the trees...
Let your love shine on
For we are the stars in the sky
Let your love
shine strong
Until the day you fly...
Let your love shine on
For
we
 are the stars in the sky
Let your love shine strong
Until
the day you fly away...
