Saved by Grace | Some Day the Silver Cord will Break Lyrics

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 presence of the King!

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 with Him for me.
3
Or some day when my Lord will come,
And called to meet Him I’ll be blest,
He then will say to me, “Well done,”
And I shall enter into rest.
4
Some day, till then I’ll watch and wait,
My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,
That when my Savior I will greet,
My faith will then be changed to sight.

Someday the silver cord will break
And I no more as now shall sing
But oh the joy when I shall wake
Within the palace of the King

Refrain
And I shall see Him face-to-face
And tell the story- saved by grace

Someday 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 heaven for me

Someday, when fades the golden sun
Beneath the rosy-tinted west
My blessed Lord will say, “Well done!”
And I shall enter into rest

Someday: till then I’ll watch and wait
My lamp all trimmed and burning bright
That when my Savior opens the gate
My soul to Him may take its flight
