From Time to Eternity

Verse 1

Time onward flows like a river vast, While age on age it has borne to the sea; And down this stream we have come at last, To see time end in eternity.

Chorus

Eternity! Eternity! Will you dwell with Christ in eternity?

Verse 2

What is this life but a fleeting day? Soon death will come with a stern decree; Then one by one we must pass away, And change from time to eternity.

Verse 3

A dial true is the Book divine, Its hands approach with a certainty The tolling point in the death of time, The solemn change to eternity.

Verse 4

Oh, joyful day to the faithful soul Who walks with Christ in His purity! Life’s battle fought and the vict’ry won, He shouts from time to eternity.
