Before my face my Sav­ior stands,
His sor­row­ing eyes I see;
Piercèd with nails His pre­cious hands,
His bo­dy on the tree.
Look up, look up, ’tis Christ I see;
He died for you, He died for me;
Look up, look up, ’tis Christ I see;
He died for you, He died for me.

The grave where­in the Sav­ior lay,
No ter­ror hath for me;
The debt of sin for me He paid,
He died to make me free.
Look up, look up, ’tis Christ I see;
He left the realms of light for me;
Look up, look up, ’tis Christ I see;
He left the realms of light for me.

For me the veil and rock were riv’n;
The grave gave up its dead;
For me as­cend­ed in­to Heav’n—
I go where Je­sus led.
Look up, look up, ’tis Christ I see;
He ev­er lives for you and me.
Look up, look up, ’tis Christ I see;
He ev­er lives for you and me.

Vain was the watch, the seal, the stone,
Where my dear Sav­ior lay;
He burst the gates of death alone,
And rose to end­less day.
Look up, look up, ’tis Christ I see;
He burst the gates of death for me;
Oh, praise the Lord, His face I see;
Oh, praise the Lord, He lives for me.
