LOOKING OFF UNTO JESUS.
Oh, eyes that are
weary
And hearts that are sore,
Look off unto
Jesus
And sorrow no more.
The light of His
countenance
Shineth so bright,
That on earth, as
in heaven,
There need be “no night.”
Looking off unto
Jesus
My spirit is blest;
In the world I
have turmoil,
In Him I have rest.
The sea of my
life
All around me may roar,
When I look unto
Jesus
I hear it no more.
Looking off unto
Jesus
I go not astray;
My eyes are on Him,
He shows me the way.
The path may seem
dark
As He leads me along,
But following
Jesus
I cannot go wrong.
Looking off unto
Jesus,
My heart cannot fear,
Its trembling is
still
When I see Jesus near.
I know that His
presence
My safeguard will be,
For “Why are ye
troubled?”
He saith unto me.
Looking off unto
Jesus,
Oh, may I be found
When the waters
of Jordan
Encompass me ‘round;
Let them bear me
away
In His presence to be,
‘Tis but seeing
Him nearer
Whom always I see.
Then, then shall
I know
The full beauty and grace
of Jesus my lord,
When I stand face to face;
I shall know that
His love
Went before me each day,
And wonder that every
My eyes turned away.
-Anon.
