Text: | Work, for the Night Is Coming |

Tune: | [Work, for the night is coming] |
Composer: | Lowell Mason |
1 Work, for the night is coming,
Work through 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 through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
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.
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.
