Lift Up Your Eyes

Lift up your eyes, set not your mind On all the world runs after The things they crave, their empty praise Quickly vanish like a mist With nothing we began this life With nothing we will leave it Except the souls that Christ made whole With His precious, healing blood Lift up your eyes beyond the skies To where your Savior's seated Your life which once was found below Now is hidden there in Him Where myriads of angels praise With righteous saints made perfect In joy and peace that never cease Flowing from the throne of God O lift up your eyes, every treasure below Is as nothing next to knowing the Savior O lift up your eyes, make His kingdom your home Your ambition, just to hear the words "well done" Lift up Your tearful, weary eyes This world is not your harbor Each heavy plight is truly light When compared to heaven's gold Cast off the weight of worldliness And follow with endurance He, who for us, endured the cross Looking to the great reward O lift up your eyes, every treasure below Is as nothing next to knowing the Savior O lift up your eyes, make His kingdom your home Your ambition, just to hear the words "well done" Your life which once was found below Now is hidden there in Him
