永遠 is the common word for 'eternity'; 幾久しい is a rare literary adjective with a similar meaning but used in set phrases.
久ひさしい
久しい means 'long (time)'; 幾久しい adds the prefix 幾- for emphasis, creating a more poetic sense of 'everlasting'.

Etymology

Compound of prefix 幾 (iku, 'how many') + 久しい (hisashii, 'long time'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the combination yields a literary sense of 'everlasting'.
