Words by Fanny J. Crosby (1820-1915), 1891Tune: SAVED BY GRACE by George Coles Stebbins (1846–1945), 1894Key signature: F major (1 flat)Time signature: 3/4Meter: 8.8.8.8. with RefrainPublic Domain1. Some day 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.2. 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 in heav’n for me.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.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.
