I sang this song ss a ten year old. Now 42 later it still touches me. It somehow draws me closer to God.. my life has been a rollercoaster with more ups and downs. Ive been blessed to have an amazing person come into my life and im inspired to fill not only hers but everyones life with love forthe next 40 years. Lindie thank you for making me s better person. You touch my soul
Colleen Pretorius. I too am in the sunset of my life, at 72, CRONIC heart desease! But these lyrics I have been carrying around for 20 years! Going to be sung at my memorial! Thank u GOD!
This is the best version I have heard . it is hard to believe the movie is 50 yrs old . My wife had a Montessori school for 20 yrs and the children sang this as their school song .
I sang this in our school choir in primary school in 1983 ... what dreams i had then ... not knowing all the horrible stuff life had in store for me ... but today I look back and say "Thank you Lord, it made me stronger."
I watch the movie, Mr Chips, so many decades ago, but I have never forgotten the lyrics. I was in the sunrise of my life. Now I am getting closer to the evening of my life, still this song enspires me just the same was it did when I first heard it. Peace and love to the world🇿🇦
It is indeed a beautiful depiction of the journey of our lives. I am also past midday. And the question I ask myself daily is...did I fill the world with love?
We sang this at assembly in high school. What wonderful memories. It certainly hits different now that I am approaching the evening of my life. So poignant👌🏿🇿🇦
We sang this hymn at my wedding almost 42 years ago. We were young and in love and the last thing on our minds was the evening of our lives. Sadly that came around all too quickly as my husband passed away just over 2 years ago. This is a beautiful rendition of a hymn which is very special and nostalgic for me.
We sung this at my high school graduation ceremony back in 1981. Now I'm getting close to the evening of my life... such a meaningful and beautiful song.
Holy cow! what a brilliant arrangement and composition of this classic! each of three moments "in my life" includes an over-dub of the previous showing this song reflects three portions of a single life; "morning", "noontime" and "evening". Each with the singer either proposing or reflecting: "to fill the world"/"did I fill the world" with love my whole life through. I've never heard a better cover of anything... not because it redid the song differently but because it found a way to make the original composer's intend more obvious with out losing the original. I'm blown away. ❤
I am so grateful for your beautiful rendition of this song. I come back to it often.At 61 I hope I'll have filled the world with love my whole lofe despite my imperfections
I have heard this song from when I was a kid, I can't remember when and where but the lyrics got stuck. I am nearing the evening of my life and as I look back, I can't help but go through a lot of emotions. In my quiet times and during some of my darker days, I sing this song out of the blue, the lyrics may not be the correct ones but the meaning it has imbibed gets me through those trying moments and I feel all good again. Sometimes, I just think of all the setbacks as blessings. Something I need to go through in order to appreciate the things and situations or events that will eventually come. I am moved beyond words by this rendition, and here I am ever thankful that this song has saved me on so many occasions and I know that God has brought me to this point in my life so I can thank Him for all those lessons I may not have known if I have never been grateful.
My Dear Audrey ... You really do fill the World with Love with your beautiful rendition of such a wonderful song ... one with meaningful lyrics. May Love keep you, forever brave and strong and true. Love to you : Ross
What a beautiful song and sung with meaning. This song was sung at our wedding by a children’s choir. It brought back memories of that day 28 years ago. Fantastic and thank you.
I heard it for the first time from my six year old son in the past week as he was reheasing for his stage 5 graduation. It is the most beautiful song I 've ever heard. So simple and yet very meaningful. I pray that he holds on to the words and lives them. So inspired.
+Paula Mahapa - I have carried this hymn for 46 years - at my lowest points it has been my comfort and drive - now facing terminal illness it is my daily mantra - very very powerful stuff this song
WOW! This is the first and only version of this song that is in the same league as the original soundtrack version. I first heard this song as I watched Goodbye Mr. Chips on the big screen back in 1969 and this has remained one of my most favorite songs of all time. I usually cringe at most attempts to perform it, but you have, with out a doubt, knocked it out of the park with your rendition. Thank you so much!!
Wow this song spirals me back so many years. I just happened to be thinking of it as we go through these trying times. I always want to fill the world with love my whole life through. I also learned and sang this in music class when I was in middle school so many moons ago. I was also in the sunrise of my life. Still a beautiful song and appropriate for the times. Thank you for your rendition. It is truly beautiful and inspiring. Love one another as God loves us.
This song has been in my head for the longest of time. Decided to Google the lyrics and I'm amazed at the fact that it took me back to when I was in choir during my matric year, it's such an amazing song! I miss my choir conductor Mrs H and the Parktown Girls choir.🥺😭
A beautiful rendition. Thank you❤️. You have a beautiful, strong voice. This always brings a tear or two to my eyes. As a retired teacher it is so meaningful.
Sang this during assembly at Whitestone School in Bulawayo in the 1990s... googled the lyrics and found myself here at your beautiful rendition! The lyrics are poignant... especially with everything that’s going on in the world where as individuals we feel helpless to change anything. This reminds us that there a tiny bit we can do. We can fill the world with love! 💜
After reading the comments I feel compelled to add I am sharon broderick's husband and she Passed away 93 days ago she was almost 81 . The teachers at her school had an informal memorial this last week and sang this song in remembrance .
Thank you for providing this inspiring rendition with vocals and instrumental. Just love that ??saxaphone interlude. Have been singing along with you! :)
When I downloaded this song from iTunes, I honestly thought it was a white woman singing, had no idea she was a person of colour. Was even more gobsmacked to discover she has Zimbabwean origins, lol I grew up there. Love her beautiful voice, and I’m getting Vanessa Williams vibes on some of her other tracks
Hi Audrey, my father has passed at the age of 88 and we used to sing this song as kids. I am putting together a memorial for him and wanted to ask if I could use your wonderful rendition as a song in the presentation? Regards Dave
Hi Judy. congratulations on your 40th. what a blessings. I’m afraid we played that music from scratch we did not use a backing track. if you are still on need let me know and I can see how I can help you.
Still one of my favourite primary school hymns. We sang this with fervour ❤

You just reminded me that every child should sing this song because it really still resonates in our hearts as adults.
This was our school song at Athlone Boys High and a great song to sing all our school career .
