Text: | When this passing world is done |
Author: | McCheyne |
1 When this passing world is done,
When has sunk yon glorious 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 hear the wicked call
On the rocks and hills to fall;
When I see them start and shrink,
On the fiery deluge brink,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know--
Not till then--how much I owe!
3 When I stand before the throne,
Clothed 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!
4 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!
