I Have Work Enough to Do

Lyrics

1. 1. I have work enough to do,

   Ere the sun goes down,

   For myself and kindred too,

   Ere the sun goes down:

   Ev’ry idle whisper stilling

   With a purpose firm and willing,

   All my daily tasks fulfilling,

   Ere the sun goes down.

2. 2. I must speak the loving word,

   Ere the sun goes down.

   I must let my voice be heard,

   Ere the sun goes down:

   Ev’ry cry of pity heeding,

   For the injured interceding,

   To the light the lost ones leading,

   Ere the sun goes down.

3. 3. As I journey on my way,

   Ere the sun goes down,

   God’s commands I must obey,

   Ere the sun goes down.

   There are sins that need confessing;

   There are wrongs that need redressing

   If I would obtain the blessing,

   Ere the sun goes down.
