Author: Robert Murray McCheyne Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #600 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Punishment of Wicked Lyrics: 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 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,
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.
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, -
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
Not till then, how much I owe.
5 Chosen not for good in me,
Wakened up from wrath to flee,
Hidden in the Saviour's side,
By the Spirit sanctified, -
Teach me, Lord, on earth to show,
By my love, how much I owe.
Amen. Scripture: Romans 8:12 Languages: English Tune Title: MOUNT ZION
