Lyics

WHILE looking to Jesus, my heart can not fear;

I tremble no more when I see Jesus near;

I know that His presence my safeguard will be,

For "Why are you troubled?" He saith unto me.



Still looking to Jesus, O may I be found,

When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round!

They bear me away, in His presence to be;

I see Him still nearer whom always I see.



Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace

Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face;

Shall know how His love went before me each day,

And wonder that ever my eyes turn'd away.
