Some Day (Elliott)

Some day 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.

Some day 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.

Some day

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

Some day.
