Oh, The Clanging Bells Of Time !
Night And Day They Never Cease ;
We Are Wearied With Their Chime,
For They Do Not Bring Us Peace ;
And We Hush Our Breath To Hear,
And We Strain Our Eyes To See,
If Thy Shores Are Drawing Near
Eternity ! Eternity !
Oh, The Clanging Bells Of Time !
How Their Changes Rise And Fall ;
But In Undertone Sublime,
Sounding Clearly Through Them All,
Is A Voice That Must Be Heard,
As Our Moments Onward Flee ;
And It Speaketh Aye One Word
Eternity ! Eternity !
Oh, The Clanging Bells Of Time !
To Their Voices, Loud And Low,
In A Long, Unresting Line
We Are Marching To And Fro ;
And We Yearn For Sight Or Sound
Of The Life That Is To Be,
For Thy Breath Doth Wrap Us Round
Eternity ! Eternity !
Oh, The Clanging Bells Of Time !
Soon Their Notes Will All Be Dumb,
And In Joy And Peace Sublime
We Shall Feel The Silence Come !
And Our Souls Their Thirst Will Slake,
And Our Eyes The King Will See,
When Thy Glorious Morn Shall Break
Eternity ! Eternity !
