252. Saved by Grace

1 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.

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
