Finish thy Work.

Finish thy work, the time is short, The sun is in the west; The night is coming down—till then Think not of rest.

Yes, finish all thy work, then rest; Till then, rest never; The rest prepared for thee by God Is rest forever.

Finish thy work, then wipe thy brow; Ungird thee from thy toil; Take breath, and from each weary limb Shake off the soil.

Finish thy work, then sit thee down On some celestial hill, And of its strength-reviving air Take thou thy fill.

Finish thy work, then go in peace; Life's battle fought and won; Hear from the throne the master's voice, "Well done! well done!"

Finish thy work, then take thy harp, Give praise to God above; Sing a new song of mighty joy And endless love.

Give thanks to him who held thee up In all thy path below, Who made thee faithful unto death, And crowns thee now!
