Should thy sky adversely lower,
And temptation’s waves assailing,
Rock thee with alarming power,
Refrain:
Look to Jesus! Look to Jesus!
Whatsoe’er thy trouble be,
Trust in Jesus! Trust in Jesus!
He will prove a friend to thee.
2 When thy faith begins to waver,
And thy strength and hope grow small,
Raise thine arms to Heav’n, where Jesus
Waits to heed thy faintest call. [Refrain]
3 When thy heart is sad with trouble,
And thy mind dark with despair,
Look to Jesus, who regards thee,
With the tenderest love and care. [Refrain]
4 Long as life’s voyage is tending,
Onward ever to its end,
Look to Jesus, He will prove thee
An unfailing, precious friend. [Refrain] Used With Tune: MANAUS Text Sources: Honey Out of the Rock (Chicago: Meyer & Brother, 1892)
