Eternity Is Calling You

Representative Text

1 Eternity is calling you
As seasons come and go,
It speaks to you in smiling spring
And winter’s glist’ning snow,
And winter’s glist’ning snow.

Chorus:
Calling you,
Calling you,
O seek the Lord, your days on earth are few;
You must obey, you cannot stay;
Eternity is loudly calling you.

2 Eternity is calling you
Thro’ ev’ry hoary head;
It speaks from all the blasted hopes
That ‘long your path are spread,
That ‘long your path are spread. [Chorus]

3 Eternity is calling you
Thro’ music, wind and wave;
‘Tis calling from each fading leaf
And ev’ry silent grave,
And ev’ry silent grave. [Chorus]

4 Eternity is calling you
From yonder vaulted sky;
‘Tis calling thro’ the twinkling stars
Whose voices never die.
Whose voices never die. [Chorus]
