How we love to see Thee

Tune: [Alle Jahre wieder] (Rinck)
Published in 3 hymnals

Representative Text

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.
