The Beatific Vision -- seeing God as we've never seen Him before -- is almost by definition greater than anything we see in the world.
And yet I think the wording of the hymn isn't quite right. I think the better we see God, the better we see Him in everything else as well. "Strangely dim" -- but only relatively so.
and the things of earth will grow strangely Bright, Lively, and Interesting...
