Work, for the Day is coming,
工作，因白晝將臨，
Day in the Word foretold,
主話已先說明，
When, ’mid the scenes triumphant,
聖徒長久所期望
Long’d for by saints of old,
勝利即將來臨。
He, who on earth a stranger
地上的異鄉旅客，
Travers’d its paths of pain,
跋涉憂患路程，
Jesus, the Prince, the Savior,
耶穌，我君王、救主，
Comes evermore to reign.
來掌王權無終。

Work, for the Day is coming,
工作，因白晝將臨，
Darkness will soon be gone;
黑暗即將消散；
Then o’er the night of weeping
一夜雖然有哭泣，
Day without end shall dawn,
天明便有暢歡。
What now we sow in sadness
今日雖流淚撒種，
Then we shall reap in joy;
歡呼收割明天；
Hope will be chang’d to gladness,
從前盼望變喜樂，
Praise be our blest employ.
歎息變成感讚。

Work for the Day is coming,
工作，因白晝將臨，
Made for the saints of light;
是為光中聖徒；
Off with the garments dreary,
脫下灰塵舊衣袍，
On with the armor bright:
穿上光明軍服：
Soon will the strife be ended,
不久掙扎全停止，
Soon all our toils below:
此後不再辛苦；
Not to the dark we’re tending,
並非面向黑暗去，
But to the Day we go.
乃走光明大路。

Work, for the Lord is coming,
工作，因主正來臨，
Children of light are we:
我們光明兒女；
From Jesus’ bright appearing,
耶穌榮光只一現，
Powers of darkness flee.
黑暗權勢逃去；
Out of the mist, at His bidding.
祂吩咐晨霧消散，
Souls like the dew are born:
我心如沾甘露：
O’er all the East are spreading
百花向東齊迎展，
Tints of the rosy morn.
燦爛開放於途。

Work, then, the Day is coming,
工作，因白晝將臨，
No time for sighing now;
再無歎息時候；
Prize for the race awaits thee,
獎賞等在你路終，
Wreaths for the victor’s brow.
華冠加勝者頭。
Now morning Light is breaking,
現在晨光已破曉，
Soon will the Day appear;
轉眼即是白晝；
Night shades appall no longer,
嚇人黑影不再現，
Jesus, our Lord, is near.
惟向我主迎候。
