63. JESUS, My Eyes are Unto Thee

Verse 1

Jesus, my eyes are unto Thee

For Thou are all I long to see,

Since Thou hast suffered on the tree,

That I might live.

 

Verse 2

Jesus, my heart is fixed on Thee,

Waiting for all Thou hast for me,

Seeking a closer walk with Thee,

Thy paths to see

 

Verse 3

Jesus, my soul still pants for Thee,

For Thou art all in all to me,

And when Thy blessed face I see

At rest I’ll be

Verse 4

Jesus, for Thy great love I yearn,

Even for those God’s ways who spurn

That through Thy love from death 

They’ll turn

To Thee and live

 

Verse 5

Oh, that my steps may quickened be 

To follow Him who still loves me

And bids me through eternity,

With Him to dwell

 

Verse 6

Jesus, of Him shall be my song,

Who loved me patiently and long,

My life, my all, henceforth belong

To Him alone
