Text:Finish thy work
Tune:[Finish thy work, the time is short]
Composer:D. M. Bowmar

35. Finish thy work

1 Finish thy work, the time is short,
The sun is in the west;
The night is coming on--till then
Think not of rest.
Finish thy work,
Think not of rest.

2 Finish thy work, then wipe thy brow,
Ungird thee from thy toil,
Take breath and from each weary limb
Shake off the soil.
Finish thy work,
Think not of rest.

3 Finish thy work, then sit thee down
On some celestial hill,
And of its strength-reviving air
Take thou thy fill.
Finish thy work,
Think not of rest.
