- 1Some day the silver cord will break,And I no more as now shall sing;But O the joy when I shall wakeWithin the palace of the King!And I shall see (shall see)Him face to face, (to face,)And tell the story saved by grace;And I shall see (shall see)Him face to face, (to face,)And tell the story saved by grace.
- 2Some day my earthly house will fallI cannot tell how soon ’twill be,But this I know: My All in AllHas now a place in heav’n for me.And I shall see (shall see)Him face to face, (to face,)And tell the story saved by grace;And I shall see (shall see)Him face to face, (to face,)And tell the story saved by grace.
- 3Someday, when fades the golden sunBeneath the rosy-tinted west,My blessed Lord will say, “Well done!”And I shall enter in to rest.And I shall see (shall see)Him face to face, (to face,)And tell the story saved by grace;And I shall see (shall see)Him face to face, (to face,)And tell the story saved by grace.
- 4Some day till then I’ll watch and wait,My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,That when my Savior op’ns the gate,My soul to Him may take its flight.And I shall see (shall see)Him face to face, (to face,)And tell the story saved by grace;And I shall see (shall see)Him face to face, (to face,)And tell the story saved by grace.
