St. Mary's In The Twilight 1941

Only four walls and an altar stand,
all that is left of a shrine.
Only four walls but throughout the land,
they mean something divine.

St. Mary's in the twilight
where once a choir was singing
no organ plays at twilight,
no Angelus is ringing.
A million tears are falling
beside a broken altar
a million hearts recalling
the words they whispered there,
Ours was a mem'ry rare
that never shall grow dim,
ours was a tender prayer,
a lovely wedding hymn,
so leave it in the twilight
a picture sad and silent,
St. Mary's in the twilight
our shrine of love always.

that never shall grow dim,
ours was a tender prayer,
a lovely wedding hymn,
so leave it in the twilight
a picture sad and silent,
St. Mary's in the twilight
our shrine of love always.
