Through All Eternity
When the mighty oceans dry up
and the sky has lost its blue,
and the mountains and the rivers
disappear beyond our view,
When the rainbow's lost its color
and all birds have flown away,
and the wind no longer whispers
in the trees along the bay...
When the forests stop their growing
and their shadows cast no more,
and rain has stopped its falling
and the sand has left its shore,
When flowers in their gardens
and lillies in their fields
begin to wilt and wither
and their seeds no longer yield...
When the grass is all through growing
and the sun no longer shines,
and the moonlight's lost its glimmer
on the pebbles neath the pines,
When we see a band of angels
approaching from afar,
and we hear their golden voices
as they wing down from a star...
When we know the end is coming
and our time is drawing near,
I'll be there to say, "I love you,"
and my words will be sincere.
And where e're the good Lord takes you,
I hope I'll follow thee,
for my love for you endureth,
through all eternity...
