Jesus, my Saviour, look on me

Thou art my Light. 4 When Satan flings his fiery darts, I look to Thee; my terrors cease; Thy cross a hiding-place imparts: Thou art my Peace. 6 Standing alone on Jordan's brink, In that tremendous, latest strife, Thou wilt not suffer me to sink: Thou art my Life. 7 Thou wilt my every want supply, E'en to the end, whate'er befall; Through life, in death, eternally, Thou art my All.

Each loving heart beats high for glory, Oh! my Jesus is my choice. 3 Don’t you see the saints ascending? Hear them shouting through the air? Jesus smiling, trumpets sounding, Now His glory they shall share. 4 Don’t you see the heavens open? And the saints in glory there; Shouts of triumph bursting round you, Glory, glory, glory here. 5 Come backsliders, tho’ you’ve pierced Him, And have caused His Church to mourn; Yet you may retain free pardon, If you will to Him return. 6 Now behold each loving spirit, Shout the praise of His dear name; View the smiles of their dear Jesus, While His presence feeds the flame. 7 There we’ll range the fields of pleasure, By our dear Redeemer’s side, Shouting glory, glory, glory, While eternal ages glide.
