Look away from self and sin, Hear the Savior calling. 'Tis the voice of love and might, Tenderly appealing, "Find in me thy life and light, I will bring thee healing." Chorus: Look away from self and sin, Look away to Jesus, Let Him reign supreme within, Look away to Jesus. 2 In the hour of pain and fear, When thy foes o'ertake thee, Look to Jesus, He is near, He will not forsake thee. Earthly helpers faint and fail, Jesus faileth never, In His name shalt thou prevail, Trust in Him forever. [Chorus] 3 In the sunshine and the night, In thy joy or sadness, Look to Jesus Christ the light, He will bring thee gladness. From thy burden turn thy face, He can well sustain thee, In thy gladness, seek His grace, Let His love constrain thee. [Chorus] 4 All our sins He bore alone, But, when we believe it, He will share His peace unknown, If we will receive it. Turn from joys of worldly birth, Fitfully alluring, Look to things of higher worth, Evermore enduring. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Is thy heart defiled within]
