Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #35 (1867) First Line: Finish thy work, the time is short Lyrics: 1 Finish thy work, the time is short,
The sun is in the west;
The night is coming on--till then
Think not of rest.
Finish thy work,
Think not of rest.
2 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,
Think not of rest.
3 Finish thy work, then sit thee down
On some celestial hill,
And of its strength-reviving air
Take thou thy fill.
Finish thy work,
Think not of rest. Languages: English Tune Title: [Finish thy work, the time is short]
