Someday 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.

Someday my earthly house will fall,
I cannot tell how soon 'twill be;
But this I know— my All in in All
Has now a place in heav'n 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.

Someday: till then I'll watch and wait,
My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,
That when my Saviour ope's the gate,
My soul to Him may take its flight.
