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, 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 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.
