SAVED BY GRACE
"Ever the silver cord be loosed...then shall the dust return to the
earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God Who gave it."
Ecclesiastes 12:6-7
Words: Frances
Jane (Fanny) Crosby, 1891.
Music: George Coles Stebbins, 1894.
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.
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 heaven for me.
Refrain
Some day, when fades the golden sun
Beneath the rosy tinted west,
My blessèd Lord will say, "Well done!"
And I shall enter into rest.
Refrain
Some day: till then I'll watch and wait,
My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,
That when my Savior opens the gate,
My soul to Him may take its flight.
