With the oxen standing by,
We shall see him, but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high;
When, like stars, his children crowned
All in white shall wait around.

mf 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;

d Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.

mf 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;

d Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.

mf 3 Work, for the night is coming!
Under the sunset skies,

mp

While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.

Work till the last beam fadeth,

Fadeth to shine no more;

d Work while the night is darkening,

When man's work is o'er.
