Look away to Je­sus when the clouds ap­pear,
Look away to Je­sus when the tempt­er’s near;
And, tho’ seas of sor­row lift their migh­ty waves,
Look away to Je­sus with a look that saves.

Refrain

Look away to Je­sus, He doth par­don give;
Look away to Je­sus, on­ly look and live.

Look away to Je­sus in the dark and light,
Keep the cross of Je­sus ev­er­more in sight;
Every hour temp­ta­tion plays its lur­ing part,
Look away to Je­sus with a trust­ing heart.

Refrain

Look away to Je­sus if you would be blest,
Looking at your weak­ness can­not give you rest;
And when full of faith you keep the cross in view,
God sends down His peace and bless­ings up­on you.

Refrain
