Eternity dawns on my vision today,
Gather round me my loved ones to sing and to pray;
The shadows are past, and the veil is withdrawn,
Brightly now does the morn of eternity dawn.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah, we sing!
Jesus conquered the grave, robbing death of its sting;
Hosanna! again let the glad anthem ring,
“Sing and pray! Eternity dawns!”
“Eternity dawns!” Oh, the glories that rise,
How they burst on my soul in its blissful surprise;
With rapture the gleam of the city I see,
Where the crown and the mansion are waiting for me.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah, we sing!
Jesus conquered the grave, robbing death of its sting;
Hosanna! again let the glad anthem ring,
“Sing and pray! Eternity dawns!”
“Eternity dawns!” There will be no more night,
I am nearing the gates of the city of light;
The shadows of time are now passing away,
Tarry not, O my Savior, come quickly, I pray.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah, we sing!
Jesus conquered the grave, robbing death of its sting;
Hosanna! again let the glad anthem ring,
“Sing and pray! Eternity dawns!”
“Eternity dawns!” Earth recedes from my view;
Weeping friends, now farewell, I must bid you adieu;
I’m resting in Jesus, His merits I plead,
Fear ye not, “for my God shall supply all your need.”
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah, we sing!
Jesus conquered the grave, robbing death of its sting;
Hosanna! again let the glad anthem ring,
“Sing and pray! Eternity dawns!”
“Eternity dawns!” ’Tis a source of content,
That in preaching salvation my life has been spent;
’Tis “Jesus my All,” and the Savior of men,
May His grace be upon you forever. Amen.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah, we sing!
Jesus conquered the grave, robbing death of its sting;
Hosanna! again let the glad anthem ring,
“Sing and pray! Eternity dawns!”
