Ah! Sweet mystery of life at last I've found thee
Ah! At last I know the secret of it all
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning
The idle hopes, the joy and burning tears that fall

For 'tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking,
And 'tis love, and love alone, I've waited for
And my heart has heard the answer to its calling
For it is love that rules for ever more

Ah! Sweet mystery of life at last I've found thee
Ah! At last I know the secret of it all
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning
The idle hopes, the joy and burning tears that fall

For 'tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking,
And 'tis love, and love alone, I've waited for
And my heart has heard the answer to its calling
For it is love that rules for ever more
