Work for the night is coming
13.12.13.12 or 7.6.7.5.D. “The night cometh, when no man can work”. Jn. 9:4
1.
Work for the night is coming
Work through the morning hours
Work while the dew is sparkling
Work ’mid springing flow’rs
Work when the day grows brighter
Work in 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 suuny noon
Fill brightest hours with labour
Rest comes sure and soon
Give every flying minutes
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 daylight flies
Work, till the last beam fadeth
Fadeth to shine no more
Work while the night is dark’ning
When man’s work is o’er
Amen
