375. Work, for the Night Is Coming

G                     C   G                     Em   D   G
Work for the night is com-ing, Work through the morn-ing hours;

G                  G7  C     G           C   G      D7  G
Work while the dew is  spark-ling; Work ‘mid spring-ing flow’rs.

D             Am  E7    Am     D   G           Em   A7  D
Work when the day grows bright-er, Work in the glow-ing sun;

G                  G7  C   G         C     G    D7  G
Work for the night is  com-ing, When man’s work is  done.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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.

[Verse 2]
Work for the night is coming,
Work thro’ 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.

[Verse 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.
