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.

No

in the

Dsee? 
There's light for a look at the

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.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O'er us sin no more hath dominion
For more than conqu'rors we are!

O'er 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!
His Word shall not fail you, He promised;
Believe Him and all will be well;
Then go to a world that is dying,

When I am stressed by the cares of the day and cannot sleep, I find comfort and peace in the chorus of this old familiar hymn.

Allowed myself to fall into a pit of self-absorbed loathing. Difficult week, wasted precious time and opportunity. Yesterday; "Lord Jesus, what is wrong with me? Why do I not keep my eye on You, Your heart's yearnings. How can I forget the only safe place is through / in You --- and You went to the cross." Light began to sneak into my gray soul.

A sister texted me a quote from this hymn today. Scanned some of the comments here. The scriptures referenced so stabilizing. Someone said, "Make this your anthem today."

My Quiet Time reading from Word for Today was from 2 Chronicles 20 and verse 12.

This old hymn was layed on my heart, the words of the chorus kept coming to mind.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus.

Praise God in the way He works in our lives, Amen.

I woke up with this scripture (Matthew 17:8) in my head, linking to this song, then I recalled this song.

Thank You Lord for the great gift of salvation.

I was sleeping and awoke to the tune of this song which I had not heard for some time. Then I tried to recall the words to the tune. I only could recall the chorus part, and then came here to search. Just what I needed. Thank You Lord Jesus for Your Great Love!

In a world that is sometimes so dark His light shines so beautifully. Thank You, Jesus, for Your salvation and for never leaving us.
