See the Christian, battle weary, Wounded on the field of life; As he prays the foe is nearing, Armed with bitterness for strife: Let me see the Christ of glory, The Blest Author of my faith; Word of Life, come and restore me, I need Thine abundant grace!
Then a ray of hope from heaven Catches up his downcast eyes; Strength returns as light is given— So to look at Christ on High. Now I see the Christ of glory, The Blest Author of my faith; View of Life, my soul restoring, Fills me with abundant grace!
Night has come, and fiercest fighting Rages hard on ev'ry hand; Yet the vision, still abiding, Makes the joyful Christian stand. Looking to the Christ of glory, The Blest Author of my faith— Truth and Life I see before me Giving more abundant grace!
Thus he greets the morn' victorious, More than conqu'ror of the foe; Thro' the sight he has of Jesus Overcoming death and woe. Look unto the Christ of glory, The Blest Author of our faith; Peace of God, our souls restoring, Has for us abundant grace!
