Members Covenanter Posted July 6, 2011 Members Share Posted July 6, 2011 I could find it in nethymnal.org but you've reminded me of this one: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 Heav’n 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.

Members Invicta Posted July 6, 2011 Members Share Posted July 6, 2011 Good.# When reading the 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. We should remember that the authress, Fanny Crosby, was blind from the age of 6 "The hymn…was called into being through…a sermon preached by Dr. Howard Crosby who was a distant relative and dear friend of mine. He said that no Christian should fear death, for if each of us was faithful to the grace given us by Christ, the same grace that teaches us how to live would also teach us how to die. His remarks were afterward published in a newspaper, and they were read to me by Mr. Biglow. Not many hours after I heard them I began to write the hymn." Crusby However, these words almost didn’t see light of day. They came to public notice by accident, during a conference Fanny attended at Northfield, Massachusetts. During the meeting, the great evangelist, Dwight Moody, asked if Fanny—like so many others—would give a personal testimony to the audience. Not wanting to draw attention to herself, she almost declined, but finally got up to speak, and said: "There is one hymn I have written which has never been published. I call it my soul’s poem. Sometimes when I am troubled, I repeat it to myself, for it brings comfort to my heart." http://hymntime.com/tch/htm/s/b/y/sbygrace.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members farouk Posted July 7, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2011 Good and interesting account. Many of the well known hymns have searching stories and antecedents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric Stahl Posted December 4, 2011 Members Share Posted December 4, 2011 The one unbroken day is described in Isaiah 60:19-20, Notice the sun will not set and the moon will not withdraw but the Lord will be the light in the kingdom age over Israel. Challenge from a Sunday school teacher. Find when this condition of the sun and the moon started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
