I found myself a sin­ner vile,
A wan­d’rer far from home;
My heart was sad, my feet were lame,
And life was drear and lone;
I won­dered whence my help would come
And who would com­fort give;
A whis­per came which gent­ly said,
O child, look up and live.

Refrain

Look up, look up;
O child, look up again,
For Je­sus beck­ons from above;
O child, look up again.

I looked, and lo! most glo­ri­ous sight,
I saw my Sav­ior there.
Tho’ suf­fer­ing all the pangs of sin,
My soul looked up in pray­er.
I love my Sav­ior, love Him dear,
But then I oft for­get,
For sin en­slaves and leads me on,
But Je­sus watch­es yet.

Refrain

E’en now, since I have seen my Lord,
I dai­ly bow in shame;
But in my weak­ness and my sin,
I’ll look and call His name.
My soul in prais­es to that name
Will join in glad re­frain;
I’ll flee to Je­sus for my rest,
I’ll look and look again.
