1 Jesus is the one to help us on the way,
Keep looking unto him,
Keep looking unto him;
Overcoming strength he gives from day to day,
Keep looking unto Jesus all the way.
Refrain:
Keep looking unto him,
Keep looking unto him,
Looking unto Jesus all the way;
He’s the only one to help us day by day,
Keep looking unto Jesus all the way.
2 When the eye of faith cannot discern the right,
Keep looking unto him,
Keep looking unto him;
He will make the path of duty clear and bright,
Keep looking unto Jesus all the way. [Refrain]
3 When the storms are raging fiercely overhead,
Keep looking unto him,
Keep looking unto him;
Great with mercy are the clouds we so much dread,
Keep looking unto Jesus all the way. [Refrain]
4 Would we gain a home with Jesus evermore,
Keep looking unto him,
Keep looking unto him;
Would we safely land upon the heav’nly shore,
Keep looking unto Jesus all the way. [Refrain]
