Look Away to Calvary’s Mountain

Composer: Charles Rowley, 1900

Sinner

come

oh

come to Je­sus

Oh

why long­er stay away?

He is wait­ing to re­ceive you

Change thy dark­ness in­to day;

Come with all thy hea­vy bur­dens

Lay them down at Je­sus’ feet.

He will fill thy soul with glad­ness

And give vic­to­ry com­plete.

Blessèd Je­sus

lov­ing Sav­ior

Bless

oh

bless my wait­ing soul;

I will trust Thee

I will praise thee

While the end­less ages roll.

Sin has made thy path­way drea­ry

Jesus knows it all full well;

Heavy la­den

and so wea­ry

More than hu­man tongue can tell;

Listen to His ten­der plead­ing

Sinner

turn

why will you die?

Gracious par­don He would give thee

And a hap­py home on high.

Look away to Cal­v’ry’s mount­ain

Where the Sav­ior died for thee

Opened up the cleans­ing fount­ain

That from sin you may be free—

Peace that pass­eth un­der­stand­ing

Joy of Heav’n to earth come down

Here

an ut­ter­most sal­va­tion

There

a nev­er fad­ing crown.
