Notes Arr. adapted for this work
Lyrics O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There's light for a look at the Savior, And life more abundant and free! Thro' death into life everlasting He passed and we follow Him there; Over us sin no more hath dominion For more than conqu'rors we are! His word shall not fail you He promised; Believe Him and all will be well; Then go to a world that is dying, His perfect salvation to tell! Chorus: 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.
