Author: Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915 Hymnal: Concordia #182 (1918) First Line: Some day the silver cord will break Refrain First Line: And I shall see Him face to face Lyrics: 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. [Chorus]
3 Some day, when fades the golden sun
Beneath the rosy-tinted west,
My blessed Lord shall say, “Well done!”
And I shall enter into rest. [Chorus]
4 Some day; till then I’ll watch and wait,
My lamp all trimm'd and burning bright,
That when my Savior ope's the gate,
My soul to Him may take its flight. [Chorus] Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Hope; Closing Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: SAVED BY GRACE
