Work.

By C. M. Willis

Work while the day shall last, The harvest fields are white, The day will soon be passed, Then comes the night. Work while the day shall last, With sighs, and tears, and pain, Bread on the waters cast, Shall come again.
Work while the day shall last, Though Satan's hosts oppose, His power will soon be past, This worst of foes. Work while the day shall last, Though clouds obscure thy path; God's day is hasting fast, His day of wrath.
Work while 'tis called to-day, Then bear thy harvest home, And hear thy Saviour say, Well done, well done. Then lay thy laurels down, And shout thy sufferings o'er, And wear a starry crown Forevermore.
C. M. Willis.
