The Old Story in Song ‎#59

59. Where Will You Spend Eternity?

1 Where will you spend eternity?
This question comes home to all,
The old, the young, the rich, the poor,
Must answer the solemn call.

Refrain:
Where will you spend eternity?
Do not the answer delay;
Shall all be darkness or marvelous light?
Settle this question to-day.

2 Where will you spend eternity?
Life’s pleasures will soon be o’er;
Their songs and mirth will pass away,
And leave you forevermore. [Refrain]

3 Where will you spend eternity?
Shall all with your soul be well?
Say, will you enter Gates of Pearl,
Or ever in darkness dwell? [Refrain]

4 Where will you spend eternity?
The angels now bend to hear;
O choose to-day a place of rest,
With Jesus, your Friend so dear. [Refrain]

5 Where will you spend eternity?
The dear ones, who’ve gone before,
With longing eyes your coming wait,
O meet them on yonder shore. [Refrain]
