161. LOOK UPON JESUS

​Author:  Meta Heusser-Schweizer (1797-1876)​
​Composer:  John William Dadmun (1819-1890)​

1. O, how joyful are Thy members,
    Sorely tempted Man of care,
    That upon this earth Thou camest
    And for us the cross didst bear!
    All infirmities didst carry,
    Also ev’ry sinner’s woe;
    And for ev’ry earthly dweller
    Into bitter death didst go!
 
2. Reign then in Thy kindly graces
    Over Thy disciple band;
    Pour upon our pilgrim’s pathway
    Blessings from Thy loving hand!
    By Thy Spirit’s gentle wooing,
    Start in us without delay
    Holiness of life and longing
    For the straight and narrow way!
 
3. When the cares of life are pressing
    Let us in Thee find relief;
    And on us Thy peace dispensing
    Drive away the deepest grief.
    When temptations here assail us,
    Let us look up to the cross;
    If in strife fear would o’ertake us,
    Be protection over us!
 
4. Lord, for us the roots uncover
    Of disguised or gilded sin;
    May we then Thy cross discover
    Where our vict’ry Thou didst win.
    Help us to be faithful ever;
    Hold us fast, for we are Thine,
    Till at last we shall forever
    Share Thy peace and joy divine!
 
5. Oh, how willingly we’ll praise Thee,
    Gentle Shepherd, when Thou then
    Yonder in that glorious city
    Thy whole flock wilt gather in!
    Come then soon, O Lord, we pray Thee;
    Gather us before Thy throne.
    O, how joyfully we’ll praise Thee,
    Crowned in triumph, God’s own Son!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
