Look to Jesus, weary one,
Look and live, look and live;
Look at what the Lord has done,
Look and live.
See Him lifted on the tree,
Look and live, look and live;
Hear Him say, Look unto Me,
Look and live.
Refrain
Look! the Lord is lifted high,
Look to Him, He’s ever nigh;
Look and live, why will ye die?
Look and live.
Tho’ unworthy, vile, unclean,
Look and live, look and live;
Look away from self and sin,
Look and live.
Long by Satan’s pow’r enslaved;
Look and live, look and live;
Look to Me, ye shall be saved,
Look and live.
Refrain
Tho’ you’ve wandered far away,
Look and live, look and live;
Harden not your heart today,
Look and live.
’Tis thy Father calls thee home,
Look and live, look and live;
Whosoever will may come,
Look and live.
Refrain
