Work, for the Night Is Coming

375 – Work, for the Night Is Coming

Major Key: E Flat

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,
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 every 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 for the Lord is coming
When man’s work is o’er.

059 – Fanyeni Kazi Zenu
“Work For The Night Is Coming”

1
Fanyeni kazi zenu, usiku si mbali;
Kesheni saa zenu vumilieni;
Kwa Yesu tumikeni na hiyo injili.
Sana wahubirini watu wa mbali.

2
Fanyeni kazi zenu, giza yasongea;
Na wengi wenzi wenu wamo gizani.
Msipoteze moja dakika ni hizi:
Bwana atarejea mwisho wa kazi.

3
Fanyeni kazi zenu, hivi jua lachwa;
Wote walio kwenu apenda Mungu:
Na sisi tumjuaye na tuwafundishe
Ili Yesu ajaye tumfurahishe.
