Refrain: Eternity will tell, Eternity will tell, All that we do, of good or ill, Eternity will tell. 2 Beyond the mists that dim our sight, Thro’ all our earthly years; The fruitage of the seed we sow, In light divine appears. [Refrain] 3 Kind words that gladden weary hearts, Will show a yield most fair; And ev’ry deed with blessing fraught, A harvest rich will bear. [Refrain] 4 Oh, may we all with patient care, So toil in life’s wide field, That precious fruitage to our sight, May be at last revealed. [Refrain] Topics: Eternity; Trust Used With Tune: [We know not fully what we do]
