Author: Josephine D. Heard Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship (African American Edition) #14b (2025) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D First Line: I will look up to thee Lyrics: 1. I will look up to thee
With faith's ne'er-failing sight,
My trust repose in thee,
Though dark and chill Earth's night.
I will look up to thee,
Though rough and long the way,
Still sure thou leadest me
Unto the perfect day.
2. I will look up to thee
When lone and faint and weak.
My grace sufficeth thee,
I hear thy soft voice speak.
I will look up to thee,
For if thou, Lord, art near,
Temptations quickly flee,
And clouds soon disappear.
3. I will look up to thee;
With feeble voice I cry.
Lord, pity helpless me;
Without thine aid I die.
I will look up to thee,
Who died my soul to save,
Who bore my load of sin,
Thy blood a ransom gave.
4. I will look up to thee,
The all-anointed One,
Who opes the gate for me,
To the eternal throne.
I will look up to thee;
I feel my sins forgiv'n;
Thy footprints, Lord, I see;
They mark the way to Heav'n.
5. I will look up to thee
When doubt and fear arise;
Though dangers compass me,
Upward I lift mine eyes.
I will look up to thee,
Thou bright and morning star;
With eyes of faith I see
Thy glory from afar.
6. I will look up to thee!
Though all I have below,
Thou takest, Lord, from me,
Thou canst the more bestow.
I will look up to thee,
My hand shall rest in thine;
Where e’er thou wilt lead me,
Thy will, O Lord, not mine. Topics: Lent Week 2 Scripture: Psalm 121:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: INVITATION
