Some Day the Silver Cord Will Break

Someone asked about this hymn recently and it got me meditating on it. I found it speaking to my heart as all hymns by Fanny Crosby will do. A week ago, our pastor spoke about the Lord giving us a song to bring us through those 'times' in our life. I think that this is the song that the Lord is giving to me for this week. I hope that it speaks to your heart as it did mine. Does the Lord also give you songs of deliverance? Hymns are so filled with spiritual truths. I love the old hymns . . . I am sure that you have noticed!!

Some day the silver cord will break,

And I no more as now shall sing,

But, O, the joy when I awake

Within the palace of the King.

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.

And I shall see Him face to face,

And tell the story saved by grace.

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.

And I shall see Him face to face,

And tell the story saved by grace.

Some day -- till then I'll watch and wait,

My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,

That when my Saviour opes the gate,

My soul to Him may take its flight.

And I shall see Him face to face,

And tell the story saved by grace.
