Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #453 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Refrain First Line: And I shall see Him face to face Lyrics: 1 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 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.
2 Some day my earthly house will fall,
I cannot tell how soon ’twill be;
But this I know: my Lord, my All,
Has now a place in heaven for me. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
4 Some day: till then I’ll watch and wait,
My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,
That when my Savior opes the gate,
My soul to Him may take its flight. [Refrain] Topics: Anxiety; Assurance; Brevity And Frailty Of Life; Death; Eternal Life; Funerals; Grace of God; Peace and Rest; Salvation Tune Title: SAVED BY GRACE
