The Cyber Hymnal ‎#9442

9442. Looking Unto Jesus

1 Weary not, my brother, cheerful be thy song;
Is thy burden heavy, and the journey long?
Does the weight oppress thee? cast it on the Lord;
Run thy race with patience, trusting in His Word.

Refrain:
Looking unto Jesus,
He has died for thee;
Oh, glory be to Jesus,
We’ll shout salvation free.

2 Seek and thou shalt find Him, wtill in faith believe;
Call, and He will hear thee, wsk Him and receive;
In the darkest moment— in the deepest night,
He will give thee comfort, He will give thee light. [Refrain]

3 Trials may befall thee, thorns beset the way,
Never mind them, brother, only watch and pray;
Through the vale of sorrow once the Savior trod;
Run thy race with patience, pressing on to God. [Refrain]

4 Labor on, my brother, thou shalt reap at last
Fruits of joy eternal, when thy work is past;
Crowds of shining angels view thee from the skies,
Run thy race with patience, yonder is the prize. [Refrain]
