Eternity draws near As time moves on; When earth shall disappear I shall have gone Out in the great unknown To reap what I have sown; Summoned before the throne, Then, where shall I go?
Refrain: Where shall I go? Where shall I go? From the great judgment seat, Where shall I go?
Soon will the Lord appear With trumpet sound, Filling the lost with fear, Shaking the ground; Up from their silent bed Raising the sleeping dead; Sinners the sight will dread— Where shall I be found?
When the sun shine no more, No hope in sight; Gone from this earthly shore Where all is night, Down where dark billows roll— Lost, lost, my precious soul! Never to reach that goal In heaven so bright.
