A mother sat crooning her child to sleep in the soft grey twilight of evening/O’er the snow covered world then did darkness creep/In the soft grey twilight of evening/In the heavens shone brightly one star far above,/In the soft grey twilight of evening,/While the mother sang low of our sweet/Saviour’s love,/In the soft grey twilight of evening/The child gazed drowsily up at the star,/In the soft grey twilight of evening./While the Christmas bells sweetly pealed from afar/In the soft grey twilight of evening./A glorious vision enfolded in white,/In the soft grey twilight of evening,/Glowed forth midst the rays of the star’s heavenly light,/In the soft grey twilight of evening./The sleeping one smiled, so pure, young and fair,/In the soft grey twilight of evening,/For she dreamed ‘twas Mary with the Christ child there,/In the soft grey twilight of evening. | |
