Inspiration for the things you do every day.

Title: Work, For The Night Is Coming
Composer: Lowell Mason
Arranger: John W. Schaum

This is a hymn with multiple levels of meaning that reflects not only on how much time the sun shines throughout our day, but the cycles of time, and also upon how much time we have on this planet. Along with this, times are changing and we will experience increased persecution and limits on our freedoms in the years ahead. It helps us prioritize the importance of the things we do every day. This arrangement is from John Schaum who for many years wrote books for children to learn how to play the piano.

Lyrics:
Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work ’mid springing flow’rs.
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man’s work is done.
Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
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.
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.
