E35. SAVED BY GRACE

1.

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! 

Chorus
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.

Chorus

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. 

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. 

Chorus

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. 

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. 

Chorus

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.
