Eternity! terrific word!

Author: Johann Rist; J. C. Jacobi Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #461 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Eternity! terrific word! Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity, unmeasured time! I sink beneath the though sublime, That I to thee am tending: Deep horrors fill my quaking heart, My lips in speech refuse to part. 2 Eternity! O what a pang! Eternity! no serpent's fang Could send that thrill of terror; When I revolve thy clanking chains, Thy dark abyss of deathless pains, My soul is filled with horror. O search the universe around, No equal terror can be found. 3 Awake, O man, from sinful sleep; Henceforth thy feet from wand'ring keep; Seek God by true repentance! Awake, behold thy wasting sand, Eternity is just at hand, And brings thine awful sentence. This perchance thy final day; This hour thy soul may haste away. 4 Eternity! terrific word! Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity! unmeasured time! I sink beneath the thought sublime, That I to thee am tending: Lord Jesus, when it pleaseth Thee, Grant me Thy blest eternity!
