Hymnal: On Joyful Wing #66 (1886)First Line: “Eternity!—where?”Lyrics: 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 your 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?”Tune Title: [“Eternity!—where?”]
