Poem by John Newton — Looking Unto Jesus


Since Christ the Saviour I have known
My rules are all reduced to one
To keep my Lord, by faith, in view,
This strength supplies, and motives, too.

To look to Jesus as He rose,
Confirms my faith, disarms my foes,
Satan I shame and overcome,
By pointing to my Saviour’s tomb.

Exalted on His glorious throne,
I see Him make my cause His own,
Then all my anxious cares subside,
For Jesus lives and will provide.

By faith I see the hour at hand,
When in His presence I shall stand;
Then it will be my endless bliss
To see Him where and as He is.
