Author: Anna L. Walker Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #647 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.5 D Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming,
Work thro' 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 labor,
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give ev'ry 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. Topics: Service Languages: English Tune Title: LOWELL
