Work, For The Night Is Coming

Work, for the night is coming;
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling;
Work 'mid springing flow'rs;
Work while the day grows brighter,
under the glowing Sun;
Work for the night is coming,
when man's work is done.

Work for the night is coming,
work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labour,
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.

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 darken'ng,
when man's work is o'er.
