Eternity's Beggar

1 In the life of plenty,
He wasted in sin,
And the fold of Jesus
He would not enter in;
In the day of judgment
With the weeping he stood,
No more time for repentance:
He knew not his God.

Refrain:
Eternity’s beggar,
Eternity’s beggar,
Eternity’s beggar was he.

2 In the world of pleasure,
Great riches had he,
But the poor and needy,
He never could see;
In the day of judgment,
When his record was known,
A pauper it showed him:
His riches had flown. [Refrain]

3 In the world where banquets
And great feasts are made,
He was found with the mighty,
As a Pharisee prayed;
In the day of judgment,
Into guilt he did sink,
With the drunkard and gambler,
And those who sold drink. [Refrain]
