1 A noite vem chegando, tempo é de trabalhar;
Bem na manhã da vida, vamos labutar.
Com energia santa, na juventude em flor,
Vamos servir a Cristo, nosso Redentor!

2 A noite vem chegando, tempo é de trabalhar;
Já na maturidade, vamos labutar.
Eia, que o tempo passa com grande rapidez
E, vinda a noite, a lida cessa de uma vez!

3 A noite vem chegando, tempo é de trabalhar;
Na tarde desta vida, vamos labutar.
A Cristo, enquanto é dia, sempre sirvamos bem.
E à noite, então, teremos Seu descanso além.
