Look Away to Heaven

Verse 1

Look away, dear pilgrim, to heaven above: Jesus is waiting for you; Set aside earth’s striving, and seek treasure of That realm beyond earthly view.

Chorus

Look away to heaven—what glory awaits! Watch, lest this world drag you down; Dropping all distractions, then press for those gates— There is your mansion and crown!

Verse 2

Never will you find what you need here to live: This world cannot satisfy; Jesus has the joy that this world cannot give, And greater joys are on high.

Verse 3

Just a moment more and the trumpet shall sound— Jesus is waiting for me; Heaven has my heart-strings, for heaven I’m bound, With Him in heaven I’ll be!
