Watchers and workers
"Therefore, as night-watchers hold one another waking by speaking to one another, so have we need to hold one another on foot."
--Samuel Rutherford
Work, for the night is coming. Work through the morning hours.
Work while the dew is sparkling. Work, 'mid springing flowers.
Work, when the day grows brighter. Work in the glowing sun.
Work, for the night is coming when all man's work is done.
Work, for the night is coming. Work through 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 shall work no more.
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 shall be finally o'er.
--Anna L. Walker
"I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." John 9:4
"So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared." Nehemiah 4:21
