Lyrics
- Sweetly the church bell’s ringing
Slowly the shadows fall
Once more I wait your coming
Thou who art all in all
Day with its sorrows dying
Night with its joys in view
But there’s a light in darkness
Sweetheart, that light is you
Refrain
Tell me love’s story again, dear
Whisper it sweet and low
Tell me that I’m not dreaming
Tell me you love me so
Once more your eyes are saying
Love did not hope in vain
My heart with joy would break, dear
Tell me love’s story again
- Never again to part, love
Thro’ the wide world we move
Out of the thronging shadows
Into the light of love
Just as the storm-tossed vessel
Comes to a haven of rest
So you have come, my darling
Unto your sweetheart’s breast
