Work, for the Night is Coming
Author: Anna L. Coghill Appears in 1,168 hymnals Topics: Work and Missions Work Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming;
Work thro' the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling;
Work 'mid springing flowers;
Work while the day grows brighter,
Under 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 ev'ry 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. Used With Tune: WORK SONG

Author: Eliz. J. Coffin Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #47 (1885) Topics: Christian Work First Line: There is work for everyone Lyrics: 1 There is work for everyone,
Work, work, work for God;

Bids thee all thy time improve,
Show thy faith by works of love,
Work, work for God.

Work, work, work for God;
To temptations give no heed,

Do not mind what others say,
Ever keep the narrow way,
Work, while it is called today,
Work, work for God.
3 By thyself first pure in heart,
Work, work, work for God;
Then thy joy to all impart,
Work, work for God.
Tell the story of the cross,
Counting earthly things but dross,
Thou shalt never suffer loss,
Work, work for God.
4 Laud the right, condemn the wrong,
Work, work, work for God;
All results to Him belong,
Work, work for God.
Find thy joy in God’s sweet will,
Every promise He’ll fulfill,
And His peace will keep thee still,
Work, work for God.

Author: Harley J. Mason Hymnal: Consecrated Hymns #118 (1902) Topics: Work Refrain First Line: To work! To work! Away! Away Lyrics: 1 To work! To work! To work!
O why are we now sleeping?
The golden harvest waits today,
And we should all be reaping,
And we should all be reaping.
O, come and reap for Christ, your King,
A worthy off’ring to Him bring.
Refrain:
To work! To work! Away! Away!
The Master calls today, today,
To work at once to conquer sin,
And bring the precious harvest in.
2 To work! To work! To work!
Despise not small beginning.
For precious souls we’re losing now,
That some one should be winning,
That some one should be winning.
O, shame on us to let them fall!
To work! To work and win them all. [Refrain]
3 To work! To work! To work!
O see the faint are falling!
Before it is too late to save,
Come, heed the Master’s calling,
Come, heed the Master’s calling.
O, why this heartless treatment? Why?
O, hasten to them or they die! [Refrain]
4 To work! To work! To work!
The cry for help grows stronger—
The day is passing, night draws near
When we can work no longer,
When we can work no longer.
Now to the rescue, ev’ry one!
O, hasten, ere the night comes on! [Refrain] Scripture: Exodus 6:18 Languages: English Tune Title: [To work! To work! To work]

Harriet Beecher Stowe
1811 - 1896 Topics: Work, Service Author of "Still, Still With Thee" in Pentecostal Hymns Nos. 3 and 4 Combined Stowe, Harriet, née Beecher, daughter of the Rev. Lyman Beecher, D.D., was born at Litchfield, Connecticut, June 15, 1812. In 1832, her father having been appointed President of Lane Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio, she removed therewith the family; and in 1833 was married to the Rev. Calvin E. Stowe, D.D., Professor of Languages and Biblical Literature in the same Institution. Her high reputation as an author is well known; and the immense success of Uncle Tom's Cabin, which first appeared in The National Era, in 1852, ensures her a lasting reputation. She has also written other well-known works. Three of her hymns appeared in the Plymouth Collection, edited by her brother, H. W. Beecher, in 1855:—
1. Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh. Resting in God.
2. That mystic word of Thine, 0 sovereign Lord. Abiding in Jesus.
3. When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean. Peace.
Another hymn by Mrs. Stowe, "How beautiful, said he of old" (The Gospel Ministry), is No. 231 in the Boston Hymns of the Spirit, 1864. Her poetic pieces were published in her Religious Poems, 1867; and from a poem therein the hymn, "Knocking, knocking, who is there?" (Christ knocking), in Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos is adapted. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
