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 armour bright ; Though thy foes be many, though thy strength be small, Look away to Jesus ; He will 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.
