Celebrating Grace Hymnal ‎#472

472. Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus

1 O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Savior,
and life more abundant and free!

Refrain:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
look full in His wonderful face,
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim
in the light of His glory and grace.

2 Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
over us sin no more hath dominion -
for more than conquerors we are! [Refrain]

3 His word shall not fail you - He promised;
believe Him, and all will be well;
then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell! [Refrain]
