LOOKING UNTO JESUS
Lyrics and Music: Frances Ridley Havergal
Looking unto Jesus,
? Never need we yield!
Over all the armor,
? Faith the battle-shield!
Standard of salvation,
? In our hearts unfurled,
Let its elevation
? Overcome the world.
?
Refrain:
Looking unto Jesus,
Never need we yield!
Over all the armor,
? Faith the battle-shield!
Look away to Jesus,
? Look away from all!
Then we need not stumble,
? Then we shall not fall.
From each snare that lureth,
? Foe or phantom grim,
Safety this ensureth,
? Look away to Him.
Looking into Jesus,
? Wond’ringly we trace
Heights of power and glory,
? Depths of love and grace.
Vistas far unfolding
? Ever stretch before,
As we gaze, beholding,
? Ever more and more.
Looking up to Jesus
? On the emerald throne,
Faith shall pierce the heavens,
? Where our King is gone.
Lord, on Thee depending,
? Now, continually,
Heart and mind ascending,
? Let us dwell with Thee.
