375   Work For the Night Is Coming




[1]
Work for the night is coming;
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling;
Work mid springing flowers;
Work while the day grows brighter
Under the glowing sun;
Work for the night is coming
When man s work is done.

[2]
Work for the night is coming;
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor
Rest comes sure and soon;
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work for the night is coming
When man works no more.

[3]
Work for the night is coming:
Under the sunset skies
While their bright tints are glowing
Work for the daylight flies;
Work till the last beam fadeth
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work for the Lord is coming
When man s work is o er.
