Representative Text

1 Look to the precious Jesus,
Think of the life He gave;
Look to the precious Jesus,
He has the pow’r to save;
wildly the waves are dashing,
Storm-clouds are hanging near,
While lightnings sharp are flashing,
Filling the souls with fear.

Refrain:
Look to the precious Jesus,
Think of the life He gave;
Look to the precious Jesus,
He has the pow’r to save.

2 Look to the precious Jesus,
Ask Him for help today;
Look to the precious Jesus,
Ask Him to lead the way;
Safe thro’ the clouds of sorrow,
Safe o’er the dark’ning tide,
Into the glad tomorrow,
Up to the Father’s side. [Refrain]

3 Look to the precious Jesus,
Gladly He’ll come to thee;
Look to the precious Jesus,
Ask Him to make you free;
Free from the pow’rs that bind thee,
Free from the ways of sin,
Free from the thoughts that blind thee,
Helping a crown to win. [Refrain]
