Your post was a call to quiet myself and look again at a favorite passage.
Beauty permeates the logical progression here. In the grief of death is a glimpse of eternity. In the presence of the Lord one is compelled to worship—and become aware of one's lowliness.

"Oh to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be."
One of my favorite hymns is based on this passage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzp83SWRNZw
It is called "Here I Am, Lord" and I heard it for the first time when I attended Catholic High School. We also used it as the Offeratory Hymn for First Communion in the Catholic Elementary School I taught in. It brings tears to my eyes…
