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) |
