LyicsWhy that look of sadness,
Why that downcast eye?
Can no thought of gladness
Lift thy soul on high?
O thou heir of heaven,
Think of Jesus' love,
While to thee is given
All his grace to prove.
Is thy burden'd spirit
Agonized for sin?
Think of Jesus' merit,
He can make thee clean:
Think of Calv'ry's mountain,
Where his blood was spilt;
In that healing fountain
Wash away thy guilt.
Is thy spirit drooping?
Is the tempter near?
Still in Jesus hoping,
What hast thou to fear?
Set the prize before thee,
Gird thy armor on:
Heir of grace and glory,
Struggle for the crown.
