Instrumental 271 : LOOK AWAY TO JESUS

Look away to Jesus, soul by woe oppressed;
Twas for thee He suffered, come to Him and rest.
All thy griefs He carried, all thy sins He bore;
Look away to Jesus ; trust Him ever-more.
2 Look away to Jesus, soldier in the fight;
When the battle thickens, keep thine armour bright;
Though thy foes be many, though thy strength be small,
Look away to Jesus ; He will conquer all.
3 Look away to Jesus, when the skies are fair:
Calm seas have their dangers; mari-ner, beware!
Earthly joys are fleeting, going as they came;
Look away to Jesus; evermore the same.
4 Look away to Jesus, 'mid the toil and heat;
Soon will come the resting at the Master's feet;
For the guests are bidden, and the feast is spread;
Look away to Jesus, in His footsteps tread.
5 When, amid the music of the endless feast,
Saints will sing His praises, thine shall not be least
Then, amid the glories of the crystal sea,
Look away to Jesus, through eter-nity.
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.(Hebrews 12:2)
