LyicsFinish 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.
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.
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.
Finish thy work, then go in peace,
Life's battle fought and won;
Hear from the throne the Master's voice,
"Well done, well done!"
Life's work is o'er, Take now thy rest.
