Looking Only Unto Jesus

I look to Christ, the horn of my salvation,

to Him alone: I have no other stay,

for Christ alone is all my life's foundation;

one look on Him and sorrows fly away.

I look to Christ, my shield and my deliverer,

my God, my Rock, my Light and strength divine;

I look to Him who looks on me with favor:

in Christ alone a perfect righteousness is mine.

---

I look to Christ, majestic King of glory.

O, who am I, who from His death should gain?

One look at sin, ten looks to Christ my Surety:

the Lamb of God who took my guilt and shame.

I look to Christ: what flood of adoration!

My heart exults to magnify His name!

No greater love was shown than by my Savior:

I fix my eyes on Him, and look, and look again.
