[Verse 1]

D G/D D/A G6 D/A A7 D

When this passing world is done,

A/C# D B/D# B7/D# Em E7 A

When has sunk yon glaring sun,

A7/G D/F# C#dim/E Em7/D A/C# F#m/C# A7sus/D D

When we stand with Christ in glo - ry,

Bm A#dim/C# Bm/D Bm7 A/E E7 A

Look - ing o'er life's finished story,

F#dim/A B7/A C#dim7 Bm Em Em7/D A7/C#

Then, Lord, shall I full - y know,

D G/B D/A G6 D/A A D

Not till then, how much I owe.

[Verse 2]

D G/D D/A G6 D/A A7 D

When I hear the wick - ed call

A/C# D B/D# B7/D# Em E7 A

On the rocks and hills to fall,

A7/G D/F# C#dim/E Em7/D A/C# F#m/C# A7sus/D D

When I see them start and shrink

Bm A#dim/C# Bm/D Bm7 A/E E7 A

On the fie - ry de - luge brink,

F#dim/A B7/A C#dim7 Bm Em Em7/D A7/C#

Then, Lord, shall I full - y know,

D G/B D/A G6 D/A A D

Not till then, how much I owe.

[Verse 3]

D G/D D/A G6 D/A A7 D

When I stand be - fore the throne,

A/C# D B/D# B7/D# Em E7 A

Dressed in beau - ty not my own,

A7/G D/F# C#dim/E Em7/D A/C# F#m/C# A7sus/D D

When I see thee as thou art,

Bm A#dim/C# Bm/D Bm7 A/E E7 A

Love thee with un - sin - ning heart,

F#dim/A B7/A C#dim7 Bm Em Em7/D A7/C#

Then, Lord, shall I full - y know,

D G/B D/A G6 D/A A D

Not till then, how much I owe.

[Verse 4]

D G/D D/A G6 D/A A7 D

When the praise of heav'n I hear,

A/C# D B/D# B7/D# Em E7 A

Loud as thun - ders to the ear,

A7/G D/F# C#dim/E Em7/D A/C# F#m/C# A7sus/D D

Loud as ma - ny wa - ters' noise,

Bm A#dim/C# Bm/D Bm7 A/E E7 A

Sweet as harp's me = lod - ious voice,

F#dim/A B7/A C#dim7 Bm Em Em7/D A7/C#

Then, Lord, shall I full - y know,

D G/B D/A G6 D/A A D

Not till then, how much I owe.

[Verse 5]

D G/D D/A G6 D/A A7 D

Cho - sen not for good in me,

A/C# D B/D# B7/D# Em E7 A

Wakened up from wrath to flee,

A7/G D/F# C#dim/E Em7/D A/C# F#m/C# A7sus/D D

Hid - den in the Sa - viour's side,

Bm A#dim/C# Bm/D Bm7 A/E E7 A

By the Spi - rit sanctified,

F#dim/A B7/A C#dim7 Bm Em Em7/D A7/C#

Teach me, Lord, on earth to show,

D G/B D/A G6 D/A A D

By my love, how much I owe.
