Saved By Grace

Fanny Crosby (1891) • English

Primary Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:5-7

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
