625 | The Hymnal#626 | 627 |
1 When this passing world is done,
When has sunk yon glaring sun,
When we stand with Christ in glory,
Looking o'er life's finished story,--
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
Not till then, how much I owe.
2 When I stand before the throne,
Dressed in beauty not my own,
When I see Thee as Thou art,
Love Thee with unsinning heart,--
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
Not till then, how much I owe.
3 When the praise of heaven I hear,
Loud as thunders to the ear,
Loud as many waters' noise,
Sweet as harp's melodious voice,--
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
Not till then, how much I owe.
Amen.
