More brilliant than diamonds
is my love, is my love
and he speaks to me in silence
o my love, o my love
and I will throw the shutters open
for my love, for my love
Keep the lantern fires burning
for my love, for my love
And many come to tear him down
but I will not let them wear his crown
I will not let him see me sway
for lo he comes, he comes today
More brilliant than diamonds
is my love, is my love
and he speaks to me in silence
o my love, o my love
and I will throw the shutters open
for my love, for my love
Keep the lantern fires burning
for my love, for my love
And he walks with me by mountain streams
and he teaches me of love's great themes
His spirit is a golden bird
he never speaks a hateful word
More brilliant than diamonds
is my love, is my love
and he speaks to me in silence
o my love, o my love
and I will throw the shutters open
for my love, for my love
Keep the lantern fires burning
for my love, for my love
