Eternity’s Call
by Inglis Fleming
The days in their coming and going,
A story repeat o’er and o’er:
That life is a pilgrimage journey,
To Eternity’s glorious shore.
Oh! blessed unchanging “For Ever”!
My heart is enraptured with Thee;
My home is with Christ in the glory—
The glory He purchased for me.
The beams from its glad open portals
Illumine my way as I go;
Though the world lies enshrouded in darkness,
Life’s light shines upon me below.
Old Time hastens on with his burden,
His sun will soon sink in the west;
But mine is a portion unchanging,
For ever “in Christ” I am blest.
Time’s tides in their ebbing and flowing,
Have wrought all the changes I’ve seen;
But Christ is the Same and abideth,
And He ever with me has been.
The days in their coming and going,
Will sing but the Song of His love;
I’ll pillow my head on his bosom,
Till Eternity calls me above.
