TIME AND ETERNITY, by                    
First Line: Far flung by the omnipotent
Last Line: Of god's eternity.
Subject(s): Future Life; Retribution; Eternity; After Life


Far flung by the Omnipotent,
The world revolves through space;
Subject to universal law
It moves within its place;
Beneath, above, sun, moon and stars
It passes on its way;
Each revolution 'neath the sun
Marks one more night and day.

God's creature, Man, lives for a time
Upon the whirling sphere
With power to choose Eternal Life,
Beyond the far and near,
Where mansions beautiful await,
Beyond the crystal sea
Within the New Jerusalem
Of God's Eternity.
