[Chorus 1]
More brilliant than diamonds is my love, is my love
And he speaks to me in silence oh my love, oh my love
And I will throw the shutters open for my love, for my love
And keep the lantern fires burning for my love, for my love
For my love

[Verse 1]
For many come to tear him down
But I will not let them wear his crown
I will not let him see me sway
Oh for lo he comes, he comes today

[Chorus 2]
And more brilliant than diamonds is my love, is my love
And he speaks to me in silence oh my love, oh my love
And I will throw the shutters open for my love, for my love
And keep the lantern fires burning for my love, for my love
For my love

[Verse 2]
And he walks with me by mountain streams
And he teaches me of love's great themes
His Spirit is a golden bird and he never speaks a hateful word

[Chorus 2]
And more brilliant than diamonds is my love, is my love
And he speaks to me in silence oh my love, oh my love
And I will throw the shutters open for my love, for my love
And keep the lantern fires burning for my love, for my love
For my love
