AFTER WORK, by

Alternate Author Name(s): Oxenham, John
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.
