“Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” (stanza 1, chorus, stanza 2)
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Chorus
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.
Through death into
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!

She lived (as a girl in Mississippi, Wisconsin and eventually called Seattle, Washington home. Her musical talents were used as a music critic, at Moody Bible Institute, and with the work of Billy Sunday. The heartaches of her (including a husband who left her and blindness) make her admonition that much more real.
