Look Ever Upward

lyricist: Marion Wyman, 1880
Composer: John Kurzenknabe

Look

pil­grim

wea­ry of sor­row

Look

be not tempt­ed to sin;

Look to the bliss­ful to­mor­row;

Look to the home you may win.

Look! an­gels sur­round thee;

Look

for­ward

faint not;

Look! press on thy jour­ney

Look up­ward to God.

Look to the Heav­en that’s o’er thee

Look to the home up­on high;

Look to the crown that’s be­fore thee

Look! to for­get ev­ery sigh.

Look now

to leave all thy sad­ness

Look now

to leave all thy sin;

Look now

to en­ter with glad­ness

Look now

that man­sion within.

Look

soon you’ll pass o’er the por­tal

Look

soon you’ll meet with the blest;

Look

soon the bliss­ful im­mor­tal

Look! soon the heav­en­ly rest.
