While the Sun Is Shining

Author: Thomas Alfred Stowell Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While the sun is shining Brightly in the sky, Ere the rays declining Tell that night is high; Ere the shadows falling, Lengthen on our way, Hark! a voice is calling, "Work while it is day." 2 Work, but not in sadness, For your Lord above; He will make it gladness With His smile of love. When that Lord returning Knocketh at the gate, Let your light be burning, Be like men who wait. 3 Happy then the meeting, When you see His face; Welcome then the greeting From the throne of grace, "Good and faithful servant, Of my Father blest, Now your work is ended, Enter into rest."

Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified: Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These, like priests, have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will. Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve Him still. Now in God's most holy place Blest they stand before His face. Amen.
