Look to Jesus Christ Thy Saviour

Author: Franz M. Franzen Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #467 (1937) Lyrics: 1 Look to Jesus Christ thy Saviour, Thou who art God's child and friend; Let thy heart forget Him never, Still thy gaze on Jesus bend. In thy rest and in thy labor Look to Him with ev'ry breath, Look to Jesus' life and death. 2 Look to Jesus, till reviving Faith and love thy bosom swell; Strength for all things good deriving From Him who did all things well; Work as He did, in thy season, Works which shall not fade away, Work while it is called To-day. 3 Look to Jesus, praying, waking, When thy feet on roses tread; Follow, worldly pomp forsaking, With thy cross where He hath led. Look to Jesus in temptation; Baffled shall the tempter flee, And God's angels come to thee. 4 Look to Jesus, when dark lowering Perils thy horizon dim; Unlike His disciples cowering, Calm 'mid tempests look on Him. Trust in Him who still rebuketh Wind and billow, fire and flood; Forward! then, and trust in God. 5 Look to Jesus when distressèd, See what He, the Sinless, bore; Is thy heart with conflict pressèd? Is thy soul still harassed sore? See His bloody sweat, His conflict, Watch His agony increase, Hear His prayer, and taste His peace! 6 Art thou by sore want surrounded? Do thy pains press forth thy sighs? Art thou wronged and deeply wounded? Does a scornful world despise? Friends forsake thee or deny thee? See what Jesus must endure, He who as the light was pure! 7 Look to Jesus still to shield thee, When this dwelling thou must leave; In that last need He will yield thee Peace the world can never give. Look to Him, thy head low bending; He, who finished all for thee, Takes thee then with Him to be. Amen.
