Where Shall I Spend My Eternity?

Author: B. E. W. Hymnal: Songs of the Evening Light #8 (1897) Refrain First Line: List, lost,--awful doom! Lyrics: 1. Where shall I spend my eternity? Where shall I spend my eternity? Down in the region of dark despair, Happiness, pleasure I ne'er can share, Banish'd forever in mis'ry there, To all eternity, eternity? Refrain: Lost, lost,—awful doom! I must die, and oh, how soon! Help, Lord, break this spell; I must decide now for heav'n or hell. 2. Where shall I spend my eternity? Where shall I spend my eternity? Down in the flames of an endless hell, Forced by a sinful life there to dwell, Stubborn, refusing Christ, have I fell To all eternity, eternity? 3. Where shall I spend my eternity? Where shall I spend my eternity? Far from that heavenly home so fair, Far from the joys that are over there, Far from the saints that have gone to share A sweet eternity, eternity? 4. Where shall I spend my eternity? Where shall I spend my eternity? Where there can never a prayer be heard, A sermon, a song, or a holy word, The voice of a seraph, a saint, a bird, To all eternity, eternity? Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 Languages: English Tune Title: [Where shall I spend my eternity?]
