The world's dark night is hastening on: The willing heart to mark and cheer: No toil for Him shall be in vain. 4 Go, labor on, while it is day! The world's dark night is hastening on: Speed, speed thy work! Cast sloth away! It is not thus that souls are won. 5 Toil on, faint not! Keep watch, and pray! Be wise the erring soul to win! Go forth, into the world's highway! Compel the wanderer to come in! 6 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice! For toil comes rest, for exile, home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peak, "Behold, I come!" Amen.
