Reformation Glory ‎#95

95. Eternity Is Long

1 O doubting soul, wait not too long,
For time is speeding by;
Comec seek the Lord while yet you may,
And call him while he's nigh.

Chorus:
Eternity in grief and tears,
Or filled with joy and song;
Where will you spend eternity—
Eternity so long?

2 All earth is moved to hold you fast,
And hell, to cast you down;
Oh, will you lose your soul at last,
And miss your golden crown? [Chorus]

3 Soon you’ll be called in death away,
Sad bells your end will toll;
The Spirit calls, oh, come today,
Save your immortal soul. [Chorus]

4 There is a place in God’s great love,
Among the blood-washed few;
A holy place in heav’n above,
Intended just for you. [Chorus]
