Turn Your Eyes

I do really enjoy the praise songs we sing at church.  But I do sometimes miss the hymns.  There is good in both types of worship music and I wish the music folks at my church would use both.

Chip used a line from this hymn in his prayer Sunday.  Had to look it up because I couldn't remember the verses.  Good words here - Christ is so much more than anything this world can offer.  He is a light in a dark and troubled life.  

TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS
(Helen Lemmel)

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

     Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
     Look full in His wonderful face,
     And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
     In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conqu’rors we are!

      Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
      Look full in His wonderful face,
     And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
     In the light of His glory and grace.

His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

     Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
     Look full in His wonderful face,
     And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
     In the light of His glory and grace.
