O soul, my soul, are you weary and troubled
No night, so dark, that our eyes cannot see
There’s light, so bright, as we look to our Saviour
Life more abundant and free
Life more abundant and free
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
O God, our God, You are with us in darkness
Your Word, Your light, is leading us on
Our hearts can hear, You Heavenly Father
Calling us all to Your Son
Calling us all to Your Son
You say, turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
In the light of His glory and grace
We turn our eyes to You
Beholding all Your beauty
You are holy
