Work, for the Night Is Coming

Author: Annie L. Coghill Appears in 1,173 hymnals Topics: Admonition; Admonition 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, Under 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 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. Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16 Used With Tune: [Work for the night is coming]
