Look away to Jesus,
Soul by woe oppressed!
‘Twas for thee He suffered,
Come to Him and rest.
All thy griefs He carried,
All thy sins He bore;
Look away to Jesus;
Trust Him evermore.
Look away to Jesus,
Soldier in the fight;
When the battle thickens,
Keep thine armour bright;
Though thy foes be many,
Though thy strength be small,
Look away to Jesus;
He will conquer all.
Look away to Jesus,
When the skies are fair:
Calm seas have their dangers;
Mariner, beware!
Earthly joys are fleeting,
Going as they came;
Look away to Jesus;
Evermore the same.
Look away to Jesus,
‘Mid the toil and heat;
Soon will come the resting
At the Master’s feet;
For the guests are bidden,
And the feast is spread;
Look away to Jesus,
In His footsteps tread.
When, amid the music
Of the endless feast,
Saints will sing His praises,
Thine shall not be least;
Then, amid the glories
Of the crystal sea,
Look away to Jesus,
Through eternity.
