In the time when trials vex you,
When the days are long and dreary,
And your burdened soul is weary,
O remember Jesus Christ.
When the clouds are black and low’ring,
When the thunderbolts are pealing,
And within you fear is stealing,
O remember Jesus Christ.
When the gates of hell, with fury,
Seek to bring to desolation
Souls whom Jesus bro’t salvation,
O remember Jesus Christ.
See yon tomb, O careless sinner!
While the days of hope are flying,
And your conscience dead or dying,
O remember Jesus Christ.
When death’s angel spreads his pinions,
He, the silver cord will sever,
But we’ll meet beyond the river
With our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Chorus
O remember Jesus Christ, remember Jesus Christ
Who bare in His body on the tree,
All the load of sinful man;
Perfected salvation’s plan-
Remember, O remember Jesus Christ.
French E. OliverLook away to Jesus,
Soul by woe oppress’d;
‘Twas for Thee He suffer’d,
Come to Him and rest,
All thy griefs He carried,
All thy sins He bore;
Look away to Jesus;
Trust Him evermore.
Look away to Jesus,
Soldier in the fight;
When the battle thickens
Keep thine armor bright;
Though thy foes be many,
Tho’ thy strength be small,
Look away to Jesus;
He shall conquer all.
Look away to Jesus,
When the skies are fair;
Calm seas have their dangers;
Mariner, beware!
Earthly joys are fleeting,
Going as they came,
Look away to Jesus,
Evermore the same.
Look away to Jesus,
‘ Mid the toil and heat;
Soon will come the resting
At the Master’s feet;
For the guests are bidden,
And the feast is spread;
Look away to Jesus,
In His footsteps tread.
When, amid the music
Of the endless feast,
Saints will sing His praises,
Thine shall not be least;
Then, amid the glories
Of the crystal sea,
Look away to Jesus,
Through eternity.
Rev. Henry Burton
