Hymn 444 WORK FOR THE Lyrics

1. Work for the night is coming,
work tho’ 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,thro’ the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labour,
Rest comes sore 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 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
