Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
The thought of thee in pain, how dread!
In joy how bright thy prospects spread!
For here God’s goodness glads our eyes,
And there his justice terrifies:
Mark well, O Man, Eternity!
Eternity! Eternity!
How long art thou, Eternity!
Who here lived poor and sore distress’d,
