Saving
grace
1. O golden day, when light shall break,
And dawn’s bright glories shall unfold,
When He who knows the path I take
Shall open for me the gates of gold!
Earth’s little while will soon be past,
My pilgrim-song will soon be o’er,
The grace that saves shall time outlast,
And be my theme on yonder shore.
Chorus:
Then I
shall know as I am known,
And stand complete before the throne;
Then I shall see my Saviour’s face,
And all my song be saving grace.
2. Life’s upward way, a narrow path,
Leads on to that fair dwelling-place,
Where, safe from sin, and storm, and wrath, They live who trust redeeming
grace.
Sing, sing, my heart, along the way,
The grace that saves will keep and guide
Till breaks the glorious crowning day,
And I shall cross to yonder side. [Chorus]
3. I dimly see my journey’s end, But well I know
who guided me:
I follow Him, that wondrous Friend,
Whose matchless love is full and free.
And when with Him I enter in,
And all the way look back to trace,
The conqueror’s palm I then shall win,
Thro' Christ and His redeeming grace. [Chorus]
