1 There is joy within when faith is bright,
Looking away to Jesus;
When the heart toils on from morn till night,
Looking away to Jesus.

Refrain:
Looking away, looking away,
O work till the end we see;
Every soul we reclaim in the Saviour’s name
A star in our crown will be.

2 Though our seed is sown in weakness here,
Looking away to Jesus;
We can sing our song of happy cheer,
Looking away to Jesus. [Refrain]

3 There is joy within when love is warm,
Looking away to Jesus;
We can meet the wave and brave the storm,
Looking away to Jesus. [Refrain]

4 There’s a bright reward for us in store,
Looking away to Jesus;
We shall meet with him and part no more,
Looking away to Jesus. [Refrain]
