Author: Josephine Pollard Hymnal: Joy to the World #62 (1879) First Line: I have work enough to do Lyrics: 1 I have work enough to do
Ere the sun goes down,
For myself and kindred too,
Ere the sun goes down.
Every idle whisper stilling,
With a purpose firm and willing
All my daily tasks fulfilling,
Ere the sun goes down.
Chorus:
Ere the sun goes down,
Ere the sun goes down,
I must do my daily duty,
Ere the sun goes down.
2 I must speak the loving word
Ere the sun goes down;
I must let my voice be heard
Ere the sun goes down;
Every cry of pity heeding,
For the injured interceding,
To the light the lost ones leading,
Ere the sun goes down! [Chorus]
3 As I journey on my way,
Ere the sun goes down,
God's commands I must obey,
Ere the sun goes down.
There are sins that need confessing,
There are wrongs that need redressing,
If I would obtain the blessing
Ere the sun goes down. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [I have work enough to do]
Ere the Sun Goes Down
