1. Some day the silver cord will break,
And earthly dreams and vigils cease;
My spirit will its clay forsake,
And find the haven-land of peace.
Chorus:
The silver cord (silver cord,) some day will break, (will break,)
And I to endless (endless, endless) joys awake;
O then for me (then for me) shall life be done, (be done,)
Eternal life and heav’n be won!
2. Some day for me my Lord shall call,
With gentle whisper in my ear;
The silver cord will loose and fall,
When I his tender voice shall hear.
3. O, when shall break life’s silver cord,
And when the morn of morns I see,
With friends I love, my King and Lord
At heaven’s gate shall welcome me.
