Some day the silver cord will break,
有日銀煉將要折斷，
And I no more as now shall sing;
我就不再如此歌唱；
But, O the joy when I shall wake
但我醒來何等喜歡，
Within the presence of the King!
竟然得以面見我王。

And I shall see Him face to face,
我要見祂面對著面，
And tell the story, saved by grace:
我要述說救我恩典；
And I shall see Him face to face,
我要見祂面對著面，
And tell the story, saved by grace.
我要述說救我恩典。

Some day my earthly house will fall,
有日地上帳棚傾覆，
I cannot tell how soon ’twill be,
我也不知何日何載；
But this I know—my All in all
但我確知有個去處，
Has now a place with Him for me.
使我能以與主同在。

Or some day when my Lord will come,
或者有日救主再臨，
And called to meet Him I’ll be blest,
那時工作即將完畢；
He then will say to me, Well done,
得主稱許“忠心僕人，”
And I shall enter into rest.
我要進入祂的安息。

Some day, till then I’ll watch and wait,
有日；所以我要準備，
My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,
把燈剔亮，儆醒等待；
That when my Savior I will greet,
那日我得與主相會，
My faith will then be changed to sight.
永遠享受祂的同在。
