There's Life in a Look

There's life in a look at the sacred cross, Jesus has said, "Look unto me;" Earth with its riches is only dross, Bright treasures beyond in the cross I see.

When first to the Saviour I raised my eyes, Sweet was the smile that fell on me; Oft as the clouds of temptation rise, A look at the cross still my strength shall be.

I'll look to the cross ev'ry day and hour, Trusting the promise God has given; None ever fall 'neath the tempter's pow'r, Who trust and obey in the strength of Heav'n.
