- Someday, when God�s sweet Spirit,
So loving and so true,
Has taken flight forever,
And calls no more for you,
You�ll see your sin and folly,
And moan in your despair,
But heaven ne�er will open,
Nor answer give your prayer.
- Someday, when death shall call you
And claim you for its own�
Behind you all is darkness,
Ahead �tis drear and lone�
If you�ve refused His mercy,
No hopes of heav�n await;
Your soul through endless ages
Shall mourn your doom, �Too late.�
- Someday, when God�s fierce anger
Falls on this world of sin,
You�ll knock as did the virgins,
But cannot enter in;
Ah, then, with bitter weeping,
From those fair gates of light
You�ll go with other doomed ones,
Down to an awful night.
- Someday�yes, when forever
The mercy door is closed,
And your lost soul must suffer
Amid eternal woes�
In bitter grief and anguish
You�ll think upon the day,
When trifling with God�s mercy,
You careless said, �Someday.�
