Eternity—eternity!
O bright, O blest eternity!
While Jesus hath obtained for those
Who seek in him their sure repose;
A little while they suffer here,
But lo! eternity is near:
Eternity—eternity!
Eternity—eternity!
Soon shall these eyes thy wonders see;
Oh, may I now the world despise,
And upward raise my thankful eyes,
And seek the joys that shall abide,
From sin and sorrow purified:
O bright, O blest eternity!
Eternity—eternity!
Prepare me for eternity;
Now grant me, Lord, thy humble mind,
To all my Father's will resigned:
New give me faith that rests on thee;
Lord! in thy love remember me
In time and in eternity.
