Text:Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Author (st. 1):Helen Lemmel

76. Turn your eyes upon Jesus

1 Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in his wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace.

2 Turn your thoughts upon Jesus
Think deep of His wonderful love
And the thoughts of sin and of self and strife
Will be lost in that rapture above.
