Eternity! eternity! How long art thou, eternity!

Author: Coxe Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #914 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Time and Eternity; Eternity's Duration Lyrics: 1 Eternity! eternity! How long art thou, eternity! Yet onward still to thee we speed, As to the fight th' impatient steed. 2 As ship to port, or shaft from bow, Or swift as couriers homeward go; Mark well, O man, eternity! Eternity! eternity! 3 Eternity! eternity! How long art thou, eternity! As in a ball's concentric round No starting-point nor end is found; 4 So thou, eternity, so vast, No entrance and no exit hast; Mark well, O man, eternity! Eternity! eternity!

Eternity! Eternity

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #238 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Eternity Lyrics: Eternity! Eternity! That boundless, soundless, tideless, sea, Of mysteries the mystery, What is Eternity to me? Infinite bliss or misery, Woe past, woe present, woe to be; The fulness of felicity; These are Eternity to me. Two voices from Eternity! A voice from heaven comes down to me, A voice from bell breaks dolefully, "Life, Death, O Man! are offer'd thee." The abyss is moved; even Wrath cries "Flee!" The height expands, and Love cries "See What God hath here prepared for thee; Choose thou thine own Eternity!" Languages: English

To guilty souls a dreadful wound; But O! if Christ and Heaven be mine, How sweet the accents! how divine! 3 Be this my chief, my only care, My high pursuit, my ardent prayer, An interest in the Savior's blood, My pardon seal'd and peace with God. 4 But should my brightest hopes be vain, The rising doubt how sharp its pain! My fears, O gracious God, remove, Confirm my title to thy love. 5 Search, Lord, O search my inmost heart, And light, and hope, and joy impart; From guilt and error set me free, And guide me safe to heaven and thee.

[Refrain] 3 Kind words that gladden weary hearts, Will show a yield most fair; And ev’ry deed with blessing fraught, A harvest rich will bear. [Refrain] 4 Oh, may we all with patient care, So toil in life’s wide field, That precious fruitage to our sight, May be at last revealed.
