159. When this passing world is done

1 When this passing world is done,
When has sunk yon glowing sun,
When we stand with Christ in glory,
Looking o'er life's finished story,

Refrain:
Then, dear Lord, shall I fully know,
Not till then, how much I owe;
Then, dear 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, [Refrain]

3 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, [Refrain]

4 When the praise of heav'n I hear,
Loud as thunders to the ear,
Loud as many waters' noise,
Sweet as harp's melodious voice, [Refrain]
