Open wid­er the door
Of your heart to the light;
Let the sun­shine of love
Make its cor­ners all bright;
Let no sel­fish de­sires
Bring the sha­dow of night,
Only love makes our toil worth­while.

Refrain

Let the sun­light and the love-light
Fill your face with their glo­ry,
With a bright, sun­ny smile;
Bear your tri­als with pa­tience,
Good cheer sure will win;
Only love makes our toil worth­while!

Refrain

If your face is alight
With the sun­shine of love
Then your soul will be filled
With a joy from above;
Everywhere you’ll find glad­ness,
Tho’ wide­ly you rove;
Only love makes our toil worth­while.

Refrain

Learn to love men about you,
Whatever you learn,
Finding no one too low­ly
And no one to spurn;
Love will teach you to help them,
Their good to dis­cern,
Only love makes our toil worth­while.

Refrain
