1 Look to Jesus, He will save thee,
Tho’ the tempest rages high;
Trust in Him, His love unfailing
Will not let thee helpless die.

Refrain:
Look to Jesus He will save thee,
Trust in Him from day to day,
He will keep thee, He will strengthen,
Guard and guide thy steps alway.

2 Look to Jesus, He will save thee,
Tho’ thou ‘rt tempted oft and tried,
He thy soul from sin will rescue,
‘Twas for this Thy Saviour died. [Refrain]

3 Look to Jesus, then forever,
Look to Him in faith and love,
Sing thy heart’s sweet songs of gladness,
He will bless thee from above. [Refrain]
