My heart is lighten'd of its cares, My love for earthly things grows cold, And pleasure vainly spreads her snares. 3 I look to Jesus, and the sight Of all that He endured for me, Makes e'en my greatest sufferings light, Compared with His deep agony. 4 I look to Jesus when my zeal And faith and love grow dead and cold; Then doth He Calvary reveal, And makes me in His service bold. 5 Thus let me, Lord, while life doth last, In faith look ever up to Thee, And when life's sinful days are past I shall Thy face in glory see.

Praise to the Sov'reign of the sky

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Confidence and Resignation God the Comfort of the pious Poor Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Sov'reign of the sky, Who from his lofty throne Looks down on all that humble lie, And calls such souls his own. 2 The haughty sinner he disdains, Tho' gems his temples crown; And from the seat of pomp and pride, His vengeance hurls him down. 3 On his afflicted pious poor He makes his face to shine; He fills their cottages of clay With lustre all divine. 4 Among the meanest of thy flock There let my dwelling be, Rather than under gilded roofs, If absent, Lord, from thee.
