Work, For the Night Is Coming (1946)

Synopsis

Hymn showing farmer, farm, one-horse plow, engaging in agricultural work. Subtitles with lyrics as follows: 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 com-ing When man's work is done. Work, for the night is com-ing, Work thru the sun-ny noon, Fill bright-est hours with la-bor, Rest comes sure and soon. Give ev'ry flying minute, Something to keep in store: Work, for the night is coming; When man works no more. Work, for the night is com-ing, Under the sunset skies, While the bright tints are glowiung, 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.
