Work, for the night is coming

Appears in 1,168 hymnals Scripture: John 9:4 Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming, Work thro' the morning noon; Work while the dew is sparkling, Work 'mid springing flowers. 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 every 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 red 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. Used With Tune: [Work, for the night is coming]

Chorus: One more day's work for Jesus, One more day's work for Jesus, One more day's work for Jesus, One less of life for me. 2 One more day's work for Jesus; How glorious is my King! 'Tis joy, not duty, To speak his beauty; My soul mounts on the wing At the mere tho't How Christ my life has bought. [Chorus] 3 One more day's work for Jesus; How sweet the work has been, To tell the story, To show the glory, When Christ's flock enter in! How it did shine In this poor heart of mine! [Chorus] 4 One more day's work for Jesus, O yes, a weary day; But heav'n shines clearer, And rest comes nearer, At each step of the way, And Christ in all; Before his face I fall. [Chorus] 5 O blessed work for Jesus! O rest at Jesus' feet! There toil seems pleasure, My wants are treasure, And pain for him is sweet, Lord, if I may, I'll serve another day.

Go, Labor On

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 439 hymnals Scripture: John 9:4 Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on: spend, and be spent, your joy to do the Father's will; it is the way the Master went; should not the servant tread it still? 2 Go, labor on: 'tis not for naught; your earthly loss is heav'nly gain; men heed you, love you, praise you not; the Master praises - what are men? 3 Go, labor on: enough while here if he shall praise you, if he deign your willing heart to mark and cheer: no toil for him shall be in vain. 4 Go, labor on while it is day: the world's dark night is hast'ning on. Speed, speed your work, cast sloth away; it is not thus that souls are won. 5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray; be wise the erring soul to win; go forth into the world's highway, compel the wand'rer to come in. 6 Toil on, and in your toil rejoice; for toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shall you hear the Bridegroom's voice, the midnight peal, "Behold, I come."
