Lyrics

When sor­row and grief o’er­whelm you,
Bending you low with woe,
Then think of the sor­row of Je­sus,
Who loves you so.

Refrain

Then fast­en your eyes up­on Je­sus,
Jesus the Cru­ci­fied;
Living is He and plead­ing,
Pleading for you and me.

When joys of the world al­lure you,
Calling you from His side,
Then fast­en your eyes up­on Je­sus,
Once cru­ci­fied.

Refrain

No mat­ter if grief or sad­ness
Hold with their va­ried bands,
Just fast­en your eyes up­on Je­sus,
He un­der­stands.

Refrain

In ev­ery­thing do Him hon­or,
Give Him the glo­ry due;
And fast­en your eyes up­on Je­sus,
Who lives for you.
