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 !
And I shall see . . Him face to face, . . And tell the story â Saved by grace ! And I shall see . . Him face to face, . . And tell the story â Saved by grace.
2. Some day my earthly house will fall, I cannot tell how soon 'twill be ; But this I know â my All in All Has now a place in heaven for me.
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, "
4. Some day; till then I'll watch and wait â My lamp all trimmed and burning bright â That when my Saviour opes the gate, My soul to Him may take its flight.
