"Looking unto Jesus"

Author: John N. Darby Appears in 153 hymnals Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more! The light of his countenance shineth so bright, That here, as in heaven, there need be no night. 2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear; I tremble no more when I see Jesus near; I know that his presence my safeguard will be, For, "Why are you troubled," he saith unto me. 3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found, When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round; They bear me away in his presence to be: I see him still nearer whom always I see. 4 Then, then, shall I know the full beauty and grace Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face; Shall know how his love went before me each day, And wonder that ever my eyes turned away.
