Turn your eyes upon Jesus
- 1285
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.
2. Turn your eyes to the hillside
where justice and mercy embraced;
there the Son of God gave his life for us
and our measureless debt was erased.
Jesus, to you we lift our eyes;
Jesus, our glory and our prize:
we adore you, behold you, our Saviour ever true—
O Jesus, we turn our eyes to you.
3. Turn your eyes to the morning
and see Christ, the lion, awake;
what a glorious dawn, fear of death is gone,
for we carry his life in our veins.
Jesus, to you we lift our eyes…
4. Turn your eyes to the heavens:
our King will return for his own;
every knee will bow, every tongue will shout:
‘All glory to Jesus alone!’
Jesus, to you we lift our eyes…(sing twice)
O Jesus, we turn our eyes to you.
