Work, for the night is coming

1	Work, for the night is coming,
	Work through the morning hours;
	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 through the sunny noon;
	Fill brightest hours with labour,
	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 the bright tints are glowing,
	Work, for daylight flies.
	Work, till the last beam fadeth,
	Fadeth to shine no more;
	Work, while the night is darkening,
	When man's work is o'er.
