Tune
O SOUL, ARISE · 8.8.8.8 with refrain
Scripture
Hebrews 12:2
Verse 1
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Refrain
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.
Verse 2
Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion,
For more than conqu'rors we are!
Verse 3
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!

Written as a personal testimony of spiritual renewal, this hymn became widely popular in the early 20th-century church.
