Eternity’s Beggar

Author: Vivian A. Dake Hymnal: The Joy Bells of Canaan or Burning Bush Songs No. 2 #73 (1905) First Line: A rich man was he, and his acres were broad Refrain First Line: Eternity’s beggar! the call he had heard Lyrics: 1 A rich man was he, and his acres were broad, And his barns he tore down to build more; “But thy soul is required, thou fool,” said his God, “Then to whom shall thy goods be restored?” Refrain: Eternity’s beggar! the call he had heard, But the warning, he turned it away; O sinner! then list to the voice of thy God, And turn to the Lord while you may. 2 He looked all aghast at the sound of that voice, As he gazed on his rich earthly store; But it melted away; he had made a sad choice, He was poverty’s slave ever more. [Refrain] 3 Out, out from his mansion he wandered away, To the depths of eternity’s night, To beg for relief, and to long for the day, Which shall gladden, no never, his sight. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 12:16-21 Languages: English Tune Title: [A rich man was he, and his acres were broad]
