Eternity.Is rushing on with rapid tide To Eternity. It seems, as never seemed before, My life is sweeping toward the shore Of Eternity. It teaches me I must prepare For life awaiting over there, In Eternity. Achievements great cannot secure "Abundant entrance" to a pure, Blest Eternity! But love of Christ can push ajar The golden gates away so far For you and me__ Forever dwelling there in joy, Where nothing can our bliss alloy__ O Eternity; __Samuel H. Smith. |
