Work, for the Night Is Coming

Author: Annie L. Coghill, 1836-1907; Lowell Mason, 1792-1872 Appears in 1,209 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming, Work thro' the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparkling, Work 'mid springing flowers. 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, while the night is dark'ning, When man's work is o'er. Amen.

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Author: Henry W. Longfellowm 1807-1882 Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace of earth, goodwill to men. 2 I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. 3 And in despair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men." 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, goodwill to men." 5 Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!
