First Line: Look away to Jesus, soul by woe oppressed ,

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 evermore.

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; mariner, 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 eternity.
