Turned Away From the Beautiful Gate

Author: D. E. D. Hymnal: Glorious Praise #103 (1904) First Line: Someone will knock at the saints' bright home Lyrics: 1 Someone will knock at the saints’ bright home, And hear the Lord saying, “You cannot come;” With sadness he’ll mourn o’er his sorrowful state, Turned away from the beautiful gate. Refrain: Turned away from the beautiful gate, Turned away from the beautiful gate, With sadness he’ll mourn o’er his sorrowful state, Turned away from the beautiful gate. 2 Someone will hear the angels’ song, And wish he could join with the happy throng; With sighing he’ll mourn o’er his sorrowful state, Turned away from the beautiful gate. [Refrain] 3 Someone will stand with an aching heart, While Jesus pronounces the word “depart;” With groanings he’ll mourn o’er his sorrowful state, Turned away from the beautiful gate. [Refrain] 4 Someone will linger with tearful eyes, While Christ and his people ascend the skies,; With weeping he’ll mourn o’er his sorrowful state, Turned away from the beautiful gate. [Refrain] 5 Someone will go into darkness drear, Far off from the Saviour and all that’s dear; With anguish he’ll mourn o’er his sorrowful state, Turned away from the beautiful gate. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Someone will knock at the saints' bright home]
