The New Christian Hymnal ‎#135

135. Some Day the Silver Cord Will Break

1. Some day the silver cord will break,
And I no more as now shall sing;
But O, the joy when I shall wake
Within the palace of the King!

Chorus:
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story — Saved by grace;
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story —Saved by grace.

2. Some day my earthly house will fall,
I cannot tell how soon 'twill be,
But this I know — my All in All
Has now a place in Heav'n for me. [Chrous]

3. Some day, when fades the golden sun
Beneath the rosy-tinted west,
My blessed Lord will say,'Well done!"
And I shall enter into rest. [Chorus]

4. Some day: till then I'll watch and wait,
My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,
That when my Savior opes the gate,
My soul to Him may take its flight. [Chorus]
