Just a Single Look at Jesus

lyricist: Susan Harder, 1901
Composer: Ira Sankey, 1881

Just a sin­gle look at Je­sus

Makes me sing and bless His name;

Fills my soul with peace and glad­ness

Takes away all care and pain.

Just a sin­gle look at Je­sus

O how pre­cious to be­hold!

And the peace and joy it bring­eth

Surely nev­er can be told.

Just a sin­gle look at Je­sus

Fills my soul with ho­ly mirth

Makes me feel how vain and tran­si­ent

Are the fleet­ing things of earth.

Just a sin­gle look at Je­sus

Shows my heart its depth of sin;

Draws me to the liv­ing fount­ain

Cleanseth me from ev­ery stain.

Just a sin­gle look at Je­sus

Drives all sor­row from my breast;

Makes the grave a star­ry por­tal

Leading to the land of rest.
