In a country churchyard (let your love shine on) lyrics

Artist  : Unknown 
Song : In a country churchyard (let your love shine on)
 
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...
