Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion
For more than conquerors we are!

His word shall not fail you--He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

Refrain:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.

By Helen H. Lemmel

 

There's Room at the Cross

 

The cross upon which Jesus died
   Is a shelter in which we can hide;
   And its grace so free is sufficient for me,
   And deep is its fountain as wide as the sea

Though millions have found Him a friend
   And have turned from the sins they have sinned,
   The Savior still waits to open the gates 
   And welcome a sinner before it's too late.

The hand of my Savior is strong,
   And the love of my Savior is long;
   Through sunshine or rain, Through loss or in gain
   The blood flows from Calvary to cleanse every stain.

Refrain:

There's room at the cross for you,
   There's room at the cross for you;
   Though millions have come, There's still room for one--
   Yes, there's room at the cross for you.

By Ira F. Stanphill

 

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

 

 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Come unto Me and rest;
              Lay down, thou weary one,
lay down Thy head upon My breast."
              I came to Jesus as I was, weary and worn and sad;
              I found in Him a resting place,
and He has made me glad.

 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give
              The living water; thirsty one,
 stoop down, and drink, and live."
              I came to Jesus, and I drank of that
life giving stream;
              My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in Him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world’s Light;
              Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
and all thy day be bright."
              I looked to Jesus, and I found
in Him my Star, my Sun;
              And in that light of life I’ll walk,
till traveling days are done.
