Text: | Turning Away |
Author: | Mrs. C. S. Hoover |
Tune: | [Turning away from the world’s pomp and pride] |
Composer: | Haldor Lillenas |
1 Turning away from the world’s pomp and pride,
Turning from sin with its pathway so wide,
Turning in faith to the soul-cleansing tide,
Turning away to Jesus.
Refrain:
Turning away, turning away,
Turning away to Jesus;
Turning from sin to the Savior of men,
Turning away to Jesus.
2 Turning away from the darkness of night,
Turning from all that opposes the right,
Turning with joy to the realms of delight,
Turning away to Jesus. [Refrain]
3 Turning away from the turmoil and strife,
Turning from byways where evil is rife,
Turning in love to the Give of life,
Turning away to Jesus. [Refrain]
4 Turning away from earth’s pleasures so gay,
Turning from joys that last only a day,
Turning in hope to a heaven for aye,
Turning away to Jesus. [Refrain]
