Twilight Is Falling

Aldine S. Kieffer • English

Primary Scripture: John 14:2

Verse 1

Twilight is stealing over the sea, Shadows are falling dark on the lea; Borne on the night-winds, voices of yore Come from the far-off shore.

Chorus

Far away beyond the starlit skies, Where the love-light never, never dies, Gleaneth a mansion filled with delight, Sweet, happy home so bright!

Verse 2

Voices of loved ones! songs of the past! Still linger round me while life shall last; Lonely I wander, sadly I roam, Seeking that far-off home.

Chorus

Far away beyond the starlit skies, Where the love-light never, never dies, Gleaneth a mansion filled with delight, Sweet, happy home so bright!

Verse 3

Come in the twilight, come, come to me! Bringing some message over the sea, Cheering my pathway while here I roam, Seeking that far-off home.

Chorus

Far away beyond the starlit skies, Where the love-light never, never dies, Gleaneth a mansion filled with delight, Sweet, happy home so bright!
