Looking away to Jesus;

Looking away to Jesus.

Looking away, looking away,
O work till the end we see;
Every soul we reclaim in the Saviour’s name
A star in our crown will be.
2 Though our seed is sown in weakness here,
Looking away to Jesus;
We can sing our song of happy cheer,
Looking away to Jesus. [Refrain]

Looking away to Jesus;
We can meet the wave and brave the storm,
Looking away to Jesus. [Refrain]

Looking away to Jesus;
We shall meet with him and part no more,
Looking away to Jesus. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There is joy within when faith is bright]
