Looking Up
Looking up, our hope is grown
by resting in The One, Who made
our every day, some still unknown,
while doing best what He has bade.

Looking up, we see the sky,
where Christ, the Lord, will snatch His own
to live with Him through Bye-and-Bye.
He reaps, where Grace was by Him sown.

Looking up, the New Day comes,
where everlasting Joy o'erflows.
The best of goodness, parts and sums,
redeem-ed heart, it ever knows.

Looking up, His Visage seen.
Looking up, such bliss now known.
Looking up, as always clean.
Looking up, sing the pleasant tone.

Looking up, the time is near
when mean things of the Earth are past.
In His Presence no more fear.
In His Merits ever last.
