Author: Anna L. Walker Hymnal: Laudes Domini #480 (1890) First Line: Work, for the night is coming Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming;
Work, through the morning hours;
Work, while the dew is sparkling;
Work, 'mid springing flowers;
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 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 daylight flies,
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work, while the night is darkening,
When man's work is o'er. Topics: Christian Experience; Activity; Christians Duties; Church Work of; Missions; Activity; Christians Duties; Church Work of; Missions Languages: English Tune Title: WORK SONG
