Hymn History: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus | A Missionary and A Blind Woman
Greg Dowdy gives us the lesser-known story behind the famous hymn, Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus. This hymn holds a tender place in the hearts of many believers. The gentle appeal and tender rebuke urge you to look away from all else and simply “Turn your eyes upon Jesus.”
However, few know that this call to fix our eyes on Christ was written by a blind woman, Helen Lemmel.

Lyrics: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
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)
(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.
2. Thro' death into life everlasting,
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion--
For more than conqu’rors we are! (Refrain)
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! (Refrain)
