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!
CHORUS: 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 will be.
But this I know, 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 will say, "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 opens the gate,
My soul to Him may take its flight.
