Eternity’s Night

O sin­ner

re­mem­ber

though fair be life’s day

There’s on­ly one step to the tomb;

Thy life like a va­por will soon pass away

Then com­eth eter­ni­ty’s gloom.

To be lost in the night

in eter­ni­ty’s night

To sink in des­pair and in woe!

But such is thy doom

if you turn from the light

Enjoying His mer­cy and love.

On the edge of per­di­tion now blind­ly you tread

Its fires how fear­ful they gleam;

Ah

soon you will be with the num­ber­less dead

Where Je­sus can nev­er re­deem.

Oh

eter­ni­ty’s dark­ness! Its gloom doth af­fright

No star beams of hope from on high;

No morn­ing shall dawn on the gloom with its light

There com­eth no sweet by and by.

Oh

eter­ni­ty’s dark­ness now falls on the shore

The twi­light be­gins to ap­pear;

Soon there will be mer­cy

sweet mer­cy no more

But dark­ness and death draw­eth nigh.

The Sav­ior is plead­ing; there’s mer­cy to­day

’Tis Je­sus in­vites you to come;

Oh

flee to His bo­som and walk in His way

’Twill lead to the heav­en­ly home.

To be saved from the night

from eter­ni­ty’s night

And to walk ’mid the splen­dors above!

To dwell in His grace and abide in His light

Enjoying His mer­cy and love.
