Eternal Life.

"I give unto them Eternal Life."—CHRIST.

I WANT to live alway, forever to stay, With Jesus my Saviour, the Truth and the Way; The few fleeting moments allotted us here, Are given that we with our Life may appear.

I ask to live alway, yet fear not the tomb, For the smile of my Lord dispenses its gloom, And soon His sweet voice would bid me arise To meet him, my loved One, descending the skies.

I ask to live alway, to dwell with my God, On the earth when redeemed—the saints' sweet abode; To range with delight o'er its glorified plains, Where the King in his beauty eternally reigns.

I ask to live alway, and joyfully greet The friends that I love, where in harmony sweet, Our rapturous songs may unceasingly rise To our Saviour and King, in sweet Paradise.

I ask to live alway, to mingle in song With seraphs and angels—a bright happy throng; To join in the shout that through Eden will ring, Hosannah to Jesus our glorious King.
