1 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.

2 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.

3 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."
