Living Hymns ‎#101

101. Eternity!--Where?

1 "Eternity!--where?" It floats in the air;
Amid clamor or silence it ever is there!
The question so solemn--"Eternity!--where?"
The question so solemn--"Eternity!--where?"

2 "Eternity!--where?" Oh! Eternity!--where?
With redeemed ones in glory? or fiends in despair?
With one or the other--"Eternity!--where?"
With one or the other--"Eternity!--where?"

3 "Eternity!--where?" Oh! how can you share
The world's giddy pleasures, or heedlessly dare
Do aught till you settle--"Eternity!--where?"
Do aught till you settle--"Eternity!--where?"

4 "Eternity!--where?" Oh! friend, have a care;
Soon God will no longer his judgment forbear;
This day may decide your "Eternity!--where?"
This day may decide your "Eternity!--Where?"

5 "Eternity!--where?" Oh! Eternity!--where?
Friend, sleep not, nor take in the world any share,
Till-you answer this question--"Eternity!--where?"
Till-you answer this question--"Eternity!--where?"
