Saving Grace

O gold­en day

when light shall break

And dawn’s bright glo­ries shall un­fold

When He who knows the path I take

Shall ope for me the gates of gold!

Earth’s lit­tle while will soon be past

My pil­grim song will soon be o’er

The grace that saves shall time out­last

And be my theme on yon­der shore.

Then I shall know as I am known

And stand com­plete be­fore the throne;

Then I shall see my Sav­ior’s face

And all my song be sav­ing grace.

Life’s up­ward way

a nar­row path

Leads on to that fair dwell­ing place

Where

safe from sin

and storm

and wrath

They live who trust re­deem­ing grace.

Sing

sing

my heart

along the way

The grace that saves will keep and guide

Till breaks the glo­ri­ous crown­ing day

And I shall cross to yon­der side.

I dimly see my jour­ney’s end

But well I know who guid­eth me.

I fol­low Him

that won­drous friend

Whose match­less love is full and free.

And when with Him I en­ter in

And all the way look back to trace

The con­quer­or’s palm I then shall win

Through Christ and His re­deem­ing grace.
