The sun is setting in the western sky
The birds have settled in the trees
The dusk has cast its darkened shadows
The temperature is cooler with the breeze.

The sun has a beautiful orange glow
As it disappears out of sight
The sky is turning a midnight blue
Telling us that it soon will be night.

Street lights come on one by one
Children are called inside to stay
Quietness descends all around
You'll not hear any children at play.

It's time to reflect on the day's events
As the family gathers all around
Grabbing a seat at the diningroom table
Thanking our Savior for the blessings that abound.

Each day is different from the last
Consistency belongs to the moon and sun
But your faith should never veer its course
Because our God sent his only son.

So as the sun sets this evening
And as sure as it will rise the next day
Look to the heavens up above
And thank God when you kneel to pray.

These blessings have been bestowed upon us
Each day you live is a gift
Enjoy the beauty of the setting sun
God's beauty will give your soul such a lift.
