Look Up

lyricist: Jennie Snell, 1881
Composer: Alfred Beirly

Before my face my Sav­ior stands

His sor­row­ing eyes I see;

Piercèd with nails His pre­cious hands

His bo­dy on the tree.

Look up

look up

’tis Christ I see;

He died for you

He died for me;

Look up

look up

’tis Christ I see;

He died for you

He died for me.

The grave where­in the Sav­ior lay

No ter­ror hath for me;

The debt of sin for me He paid

He died to make me free.

Look up

look up

’tis Christ I see;

He left the realms of light for me;

Look up

look up

’tis Christ I see;

He left the realms of light for me.

For me the veil and rock were riv’n;

The grave gave up its dead;

For me as­cend­ed in­to Heav’n—

I go where Je­sus led.

Look up

look up

’tis Christ I see;

He ev­er lives for you and me.

Look up

look up

’tis Christ I see;

He ev­er lives for you and me.

Vain was the watch

the seal

the stone

Where my dear Sav­ior lay;

He burst the gates of death alone

And rose to end­less day.

Look up

look up

’tis Christ I see;

He burst the gates of death for me;

Oh

praise the Lord

His face I see;

Oh

praise the Lord

He lives for me.
