"Looking unto Jesus." - Hebrews 12:2
Jesus, to thee I now can fly,
On whom my help is laid:
Oppress'd by sins, I lift my eye,
and see the shadows fade.
Soon as I find myself forsook,
The grace again is given:
A sigh can reach my heart, a look
Can bring thee down from heaven.
Believing on my Lord, I find
A sure and present aid;
On thee alone my constant mind
Be every moment stay'd.
Jesus, my strength, my hope, my rest,
On thee will I depend,
Till summon'd to the marriage feast,
Where faith in sight shall end.
