I Am Debtor.

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.
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.
When I stand before the throne Dressed in beauty not my own, When I see Thee as Thou art, Love Thee with a sinless heart, Then, Lord, shall I fully know— Not till then—how much I owe.
When the praise of heaven I hear, Loud as thunders to the ear, Loud as many waters' noise, Sweet as harps' melodious voice, Then, Lord, shall I fully know— Not till then—how much I owe.
