"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might."

I mf 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;
dim Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.

2 mf Work, for the night is coming!
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labour;
Rest comes sure and soon.

ST. MICHAEL.

Give

every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
dim Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.

3 mf Work, for the night is coming!
Under the sunset skies,
While their bright tints are glowing,

S.M.

Work, for daylight flies.

Work till the last beam fadeth,

Fadeth to shine no more;

dim Work, while the night is darkening, When man's work is o'er. Amen.
