Labor While We may

Author: Melia Z. Haffner Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10006 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Life seems but a sparkling river Refrain First Line: "Let us, then, be up and doing" Lyrics: 1 Life seems but a sparkling river, Flowing down the "steep of time," Bearing trusting spirits ever, To a happy, holy clime. Refrain: 'Let us, then, be up and doing,' Let us labor while we may; Roses ’round each pathway strewing, Treading softly all life’s way. 2 We have but a short probation, Soon our labors will be o’er; Soon from toil and sore temptation, We shall rest forevermore! [Refrain] 3 Yes, the night of death steals o’er us, Calling us from earth away; And eternity before us, Beams with light of endless day. [Refrain] 4 Cheering pilgrims, faint and weary, And with tenderness and love; Pointing thro’ earth’s darkness dreary, To the glorious home above. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: PALM BEACH
