Tekst

Look Away to Jesus
1 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.

2 Look away to Jesus,
Soldier in the fight;
When the battle thickens
Keep thine armor bright;
Though thy foes be many,
Tho’ thy strength be small,
Look away to Jesus;
He shall conquer all.

3 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.

4 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.

5 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.
