Text:"Looking unto Jesus'
Tune:CAERSALEM

371. "Looking unto Jesus'

1 Look to Jesus! till, reviving,
Faith and love thy life-springs swell,
Strength for all good things deriving;
Jesus hath done all things well.
Work, while it is called to-day,
Works which shall not fade away.

2 Look to Jesus, prayerful waking
Where thy feet on roses tread;
Follow, worldly pomp forsaking,
With thy cross, where he hath led.
Baffled shall the tempter flee,
And God's angels come to thee.

3 Look to Jesus, when, dark lowering,
Perils thy horizon dim;
Once from him a band fell cowering;
Calm in tempests, look on him;
Wind and billow, fire and flood,
Forward! brave by trusting God.

4 Look to Jesus still to shield thee,
When no longer thou may'st live;
In that last need, he will yield thee
Peace the world can never give;
He who finished all for thee
Takes thee, then, with him to be.
