Vast Eternity

Author: B. E. Warren Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Miscellaneous First Line: Eternity! no mortal knows Refrain First Line: Eternity! eternity! Lyrics: 1 Eternity! no mortal knows The depth to which its meaning goes; If only one each thousandth year Of all the atoms of this sphere Should go to nothingness for aye, When thus this world should pass away, Unmeasured even then would be The ages of eternity. Refrain: Eternity! eternity! Vast eternity! 2 If we on pinions could arise And view God’s work in yonder skies, The myriad worlds that shine on high, Tell how they’re made, and when, and why— If we could name the stars above, And sound the depths of his great love, Could count the drops in ev’ry sea, Unknown were yet eternity. [Refrain] 3 If one could tell how things below, To feed the living creatures, grow, And how the unseen Hand can give The breath of life to all that live— Can paint all colors rich and rare, And bridge the gulf of dark despair— Then might we know, if we could see, The length of vast eternity. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Eternity! no mortal knows]
