O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see
There is light for a look at the Saviour
And life more abundant and free
We turn our eyes, we turn our eyes
See the darkness bow to light
And we will rise, and we will rise
Love has overcome the night
Through death into life everlasting
He passed and we follow Him there
And over us, sin no more has dominion
For more than conquerors we are
We turn our eyes, we turn our eyes
See the darkness bow to light
And we will rise, and we will rise
Love has overcome the night
We turn our eyes, we turn our eyes
See the darkness bow to light
And we will rise, and we will rise
Love has overcome the night!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
In the light of His glory and grace
In the light of His glory and grace!
We turn our eyes, we turn our eyes
See the darkness bow to light
And we will rise, and we will rise
Love has overcome the night
We turn our eyes, we turn our eyes
See the darkness bow to light
And we will rise, and we will rise
Love has overcome the night!
His Word shall not fail you, He promised
Believe Him and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell
