When this passing world is done

NT545
1
When this passing world is done,
When has sunk yon glaring sun,
When we stand with Christ on high,
Looking o'er life's history;
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
E'en on earth, as through a glass
Darkly, let Thy glory pass;
Make forgiveness feel so sweet;
Make Thy Spirit's help so meet:
E'en on earth, Lord, make me know
Something of how much I owe.
(Repeat the last two lines of each stanza)

Today Lord, make us know

Something of how much we owe.

This tune was written by bro Mark Ferraro sometime during 2010-2011. The Irvine YP recorded it for an album & it’s been one of my favorite hymns ever since. A simple and genuine, consecration prayer song.
