1 How we love to see thee, Golden evening sun! How we love to see thee, When the day is done.
2 Be it ours, thus brightly, Virtue's course to run; Ours to sleep so sweetly, All our labors done.
3 Thus we wish in childhood, While we gaze on thee, With our heavenly pathway Like thine own may be. Source: The Morning Stars Sang Together: a book of religious songs for Sunday schools and the home circle #15
