He is near to help and bless; Be not weary, onward press. 2 Look to him, who once was willing All his glory to resign, That, for thee the law fulfilling, All his merit might be thine. Strive to follow, day by day, Where his footsteps mark the way. 3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory, Tasting death to win thy life; Gazing on that wondrous story, Canst thou falter in the strife? Is it not new life to know That the Lord hath loved thee so? 4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten, Hope shall soar, and love shall burn, Peace once more thy heart shall lighten; Rise, he calleth thee, return! Be not weary on thy way; Jesus is thy strength and stay. Scripture: Job 23:10 Used With Tune: GRANGE

Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Father, go? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; Thy gracious word can draw me thence; I would obey the voice divine, And all inferior joys resign. 4 Be earth, with all her cares, withdrawn; Let noise and vanity be gone; In secret silence of the mind, My heaven, and there my God, I find.
