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 armor bright.
Though thy foes be many
Though thy strength be small
Look away to Jesus,
He shall 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.
