- 1Looking to Thee from day to day,Trusting Thy grace along the way,Knowing that Thou wilt safely keep all that is Thine;Sure of Thy soul redeeming love,Sure of a crown of life above,Singing Thy praise I press along,Savior divine.Looking to Thee,(Constantly looking to Thee,)Trusting Thy grace(Trusting Thy wonderful grace,)I am as happy as a true soldier can be; (ever can be;)Nearing my own(Nearing, dear Savior, my own) heavenly place,(beautiful heavenly place,)Trusting Thy love I press along, looking to Thee. (yes, looking to Thee.)
- 2Looking to Thee for all I need,Finding in Thee a friend indeed,All of the burdens of the day meekly I bear;Neither the foe nor storm I fear,Savior divine, for Thou art near;Ready my cares and troubles all freely to share.Looking to Thee,(Constantly looking to Thee,)Trusting Thy grace(Trusting Thy wonderful grace,)I am as happy as a true soldier can be; (ever can be;)Nearing my own(Nearing, dear Savior, my own) heavenly place,(beautiful heavenly place,)Trusting Thy love I press along, looking to Thee. (yes, looking to Thee.)
- 3After a while in heaven bright,Where there is neither sin nor night,I shall behold Thee, face to face,Jesus my own;Then with the saved ones gone before,I shall with rapture, more and more,Praise Thee forever, near the bright beautiful throne.Looking to Thee,(Constantly looking to Thee,)Trusting Thy grace(Trusting Thy wonderful grace,)I am as happy as a true soldier can be; (ever can be;)Nearing my own(Nearing, dear Savior, my own) heavenly place,(beautiful heavenly place,)Trusting Thy love I press along, looking to Thee. (yes, looking to Thee.)
