Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
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. 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. 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.
