Saved By Grace

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;
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.

refrain

some day, when fades the golden sun
beneath the rosy tinted west,
my blessèd lord will say, “well done!”
and i shall enter into rest.

refrain

some day: 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.

refrain
