Oh! Sweet was our love when first we had met, And sweeter our love when we had married, But dearest of all, now fifty years on, That true love in our hearts we have carried. For better or worse: there were high points some low, The bonds of our love now are stronger, and so – More tender, more true than youth ever knew – Our hearts’ love is now brimming over! When troubled we’ve put all our trust in the Lord, And His blessings came – none could be finer! Sure the bothers in life hardly mattered one jot, For true love can make hardships much kinder! Oh! Sweet was our love when first we had met, And sweeter our love when we had married, But dearest of all, now fifty years on That true love in our hearts we have carried.
