Like Ja­cob in his Be­thel rest,
Let your light shine where­so­e’er you go,
And thro’ sin’s dark­est night;
Over the riv­er, fac­es I see,
Over the riv­er, fac­es I see,

My soul with rap­ture thrills;
I to Thee will look and live,
God be in my head, and in my un­der­stand­ing;
Cling to truth un­til the last!
Cling to truth un­til the last!
Mercy is bound­less and free.
And ga­ther the reap­ers home.
With Je­sus alone.

That here, as in Heav­en, there need be no night.
With the cross of the Lord be­fore us,
Beside the still wa­ters that burst from the rock,
From the great white throne eter­nal,

look­ing

They watch my pil­low—I am blest,
Brighter each day let it gleam and glow,
And my soul is full of glo­ry,
Free from their sor­row, grief and des­pair,
Free from their sor­row, grief and des­pair,
Sinner, ’tis Je­sus look­ing for thee;
Casting quick­ly ev­ery weight aside;
Thru the lat­tice work is seen,
Looking light­ens, look­ing heals,
God be in my mouth, and in my speak­ing;
For God and the right
For God and the right
Looking for thee, look­ing for thee;
Our be­loved are look­ing down;
Like Him thou shalt be;
One who will your life de­fend,
I trem­ble no more when I see Je­sus near;
And His ho­ly arm spread o’er us,
That ga­thered and safe in Thy fold we may be.
He it is who now com­mands thee,
