Someday the silver cord will break,
And I no more as now shall sing;
But, O, 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.
Someday 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 heaven for me.
Someday, when fades the golden sun
Beneath the rosy-tinted west,
My blessed Lord will say, "Well done!"
And I shall enter into rest.
