9403. Eternity! Where?

1 "Eternity! Where?" It floats in the air;
Amid clamor or silence it ever is there!
The question so solemn—"Eternity! Where?"
The question so solemn—"Eternity! Where?"

2 "Eternity! Where?" Oh! Eternity! where?
With redeemed ones in glory? Or fiends in despair?
With one or the other—"Eternity! Where?"
With one or the other—"Eternity! Where?"

3 "Eternity! Where?" Oh! how can you share
The world’s giddy pleasures, or heedlessly dare?
Do aught till you settle—"Eternity! Where?"
Do aught till you settle—"Eternity! Where?"

4 "Eternity! Where?" Oh! friend, have a care;
Soon God will no longer His judgment forbear;
This day may decide your "Eternity! Where?"
This day may decide your "Eternity! Where?"

5 "Eternity! Where?" Oh! Eternity! Where?
Friend, sleep not, nor take in the world any share,
Till you answer this question—"Eternity! Where?"
Till you answer this question—"Eternity! Where?"
