AFTER WORK by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY

First Line: LORD, WHEN THOU SEEST THAT MY WORK IS DONE
Last Line: WILL I COME.
Subject(s): FUTURE LIFE; RELIGION; RETRIBUTION; ETERNITY; AFTER LIFE; THEOLOGY;
Lord, when Thou seest that my work is done,
Let me not linger on,
With failing powers,
Adown the weary hours, --
A workless worker in a world of work.
But, with a word,
Just bid me home,
And I will come
Right gladly, --
Yea, right gladly
Will I come.
