Work, for the Night Is Coming

Author: Annie L. Coghill, 1836-1907; Lowell Mason, 1792-1872 Appears in 1,165 hymnals Matching Instances: 1,148 Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming, Work thro' the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparkling, Work 'mid springing flowers. Work when 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 thro' 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 dark'ning, When man's work is o'er. Amen.
