Work while it is day
the Master did command;
Time floats fast away
oh
work with heart and hand.
Evening shades are falling
night comes swiftly on;
Us to work He’s calling
ere the day is gone.
Work while it is day
time floats fast away;
Night is coming on
the day will soon be gone.
Work while it is day
the sun is sinking fast;
His bright beaming ray will soon be overpast.
Listen what he’s saying
as he sinks to rest
Mortal
why delaying? View the golden west.
Work while it is day
it will not all be done;
Labor as we may
until the setting sun.
Work until the gleaming of the golden day;
Time is fast receding
soon twill pass away.
