Look Away to Jesus (Hough)

Look away to Je­sus when the clouds ap­pear

Look away to Je­sus when the tempt­er’s near;

And

tho’ seas of sor­row lift their migh­ty waves

Look away to Je­sus with a look that saves.

Look away to Je­sus

He doth par­don give;

Look away to Je­sus

on­ly look and live.

Look away to Je­sus in the dark and light

Keep the cross of Je­sus ev­er­more in sight;

Every hour temp­ta­tion plays its lur­ing part

Look away to Je­sus with a trust­ing heart.

Look away to Je­sus if you would be blest

Looking at your weak­ness can­not give you rest;

And when full of faith you keep the cross in view

God sends down His peace and bless­ings up­on you.
