1 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,
Looking unto Jesus,
Looking unto Jesus,
Never need we yield
Looking unto Jesus,
Looking unto Jesus,
Over all the armor
Faith the battle shield.

2 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. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 Looking up to Jesus
On the em’rald 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. [Refrain]
On Joyful Wing : A Book of Praise and Song #4 (1886)
