Would you travel safely
Thro’ this world below,
Sure of faithful guidance
Everywhere you go?
Overcome all evil
Every passing day?
Keep your eyes on Jesus
All along the way!
Refrain
Keep your eyes on Jesus,
Follow where He leads;
He will bear your burden,
Satisfy your needs;
Keep your eyes on Jesus
Every passing day;
Keep your eyes on Jesus
All along the way!
Would you live more fully
In the perfect love?
Knowing your petitions
Will be heard above;
Trust His precious promise,
Each command obey,
Keep your eyes on Jesus
All along the way!
Refrain
Would you be a blessing
Unto all you meet,
Be a willing listener
At the Master’s feet?
Heir to His own kingdom,
Land of endless day?
Keep your eyes on Jesus
All along the way!
Refrain
