375- Work, For the Night Is Coming

Christian Church: Mission of the Church

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.
