Lyics

ETERNITY is just at hand,

And shall I waste my ebbing sand?

And careless view departing day,

And throw my inch of time away?



Eternity!--tremendous sound!--

To guilty souls a dreadful wound!

But oh! if Christ and heaven be mine,

How sweet the accents!--how divine!



Be this my chief, my only care-

My high pursuit-my ardent prayer-

An interest in the Saviour's blood,

My pardon seal'd, and peace with God.



Search, Lord-oh! search my inmost heart,

And light, and hope, and joy impart;

From guilt and error set me free,

And guide me safe to heaven and thee.
