The Convention Hymnal Title of Hymn 41: Work, for the Night Is Coming by Mrs. Annie L. Coghill

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 clay 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 labor,
    Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying moment
    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 the 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.
Mrs. Annie L. Coghill
