Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.721

First Line: O eyes that are weary and hearts that are sore

O eyes that are weary and hearts that are sore,
Look off unto Jesus, and sorrow no more ;
The light of His countenance shineth
so bright, [be no night.
That on earth as in heaven there need

2 Looking off unto Jesus, my eyes
cannot see
The troubles and dangers that throng around me ;
They cannot be blinded with sorrowful tears ;
They cannot be shadowed with unbelief-fears.

3 Looking off unto Jesus, my spirit is blest ;
In the world I have turmoil, in Him I have rest ;
The sea of my life all about me may roar ;
When I look unto Jesus, I hear it no more.

4 Looking off unto Jesus, I go not astray ;
My eyes are on Him, and He shows me the way ;
The path may seem dark as He leads me along,
But following Jesus I cannot go wrong.
