Hymn 644-0

趕緊工作夜快臨
Work, for the night is coming

Hymn 644-1

1a	趕緊工作,夜快臨 工作在於清晨; 工作,正當朝色新, 工作,花正芬;

Work, for the night is coming,
Work thru the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work'mid springing flow'rs.

Hymn 644-2

1b	工作,當日光無蔭, 工作在於驕陽, 趕緊工作,夜快臨 必須離工廠。

Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.

Hymn 644-3

2a	趕緊工作,夜快臨, 工作在於正午; 最亮時辰宜辛勤; 不久﹐不辛苦。

Work, for the night is coming,
Work thru the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor -
Rest comes sure and soon.

Hymn 644-4

2b	每一飛逝的光陰﹐ 都當裝滿成績; 趕緊工作,夜快臨, 那時人安息。

Give ev'ry flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.

Hymn 644-5

3a	趕緊工作,夜快臨, 趁此加深暮景﹔ 夕陽西沉彩霞新﹐ 再過成灰影﹔

Work, for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies:
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.

Hymn 644-6

3b	最後一線的光陰﹐ 不久就要沒落﹔ 趕緊工作,夜正臨, 轉瞬工作過。

Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work, while the night is dark'ning'
When man's work is o'ver.
