Look up

"O Lord... I will direct my prayer unto Thee, and will LOOK UP" Psalm 5:3.
"Looking unto Jesus" Heb. 12: 1.
Oh, child of God, as on you tread, Look Up!
There's naught but glory overhead, Look Up!
Remember your bright home is there.
What matter then the trials here?
With Christ the glory soon you'll share. Look Up!
Oh, why should e'er the heart be sad? Look Up!
He died to make you always glad. Look Up!
Awake, and sing His fullest praise,
With Him you'll dwell through endless days.
Oh, what a thought the heart to raise! Look Up!
Would you be kept by God's own power? Look Up!
Yes, every moment, every hour. Look Up!
How oft the blessed Lord when here
Would seek some burdened heart to cheer.
Would we His own example share - Look Up!
If daily you would be sustained, Look Up!
In all around the heart is pained, Look Up!
Ne'er tempted be to look within,
The only way to keep from sin
Is this - Be occupied with Him. Look Up!
No longer hanging on the tree, Look Up!
He lives in glory now for thee. Look Up!
If we would manifest Him here,
The eye must gaze upon Him there;
So shall we, changed, His glory bear. Look Up!
For constant power to run the race, Look Up!
He giveth strength, He giveth grace. Look Up!
And tell the lost what Christ has done
To fit them for the Father's home;
Yea, spread the news; He soon will come. Look Up!
