Some day the silver cord will break

Some day the silver cord will break

And I no more as now shall sing;

But

O the joy when I shall wake

Within the presence of the King!

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 with Him for me.

Or some day when my Lord will come

And called to meet Him I’ll be blest

He then will say to me

“Well done

”

And I shall enter into rest.

Some day

till then I’ll watch and wait

My lamp all trimmed and burning bright

That when my Savior I will greet

My faith will then be changed to sight.
