Some day 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.
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.
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.
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.
