Fix your eyes upon Jesus, His eyes of fire

Fix your eyes upon Jesus, His eyes of fire
His eyes of burning love for you
And He will hold you in the storm

The Lord died to win our hearts.

The song was based on this tract (https://unveiling.org/focussed-2/) called "Focused" by Lilias Trotter, written in the 1920s. The roaring 20s so they say. Here is an excerpt:

Turn full your soul’s vision to Jesus, and look and look at Him, 

and a strange dimness will come over all that is apart from Him, 

and the Divine “attrait” by which God’s saints are made, even in this 20th century, will lay hold of you. 

For “He is worthy” to have all there is to be had in the heart that He has died to win.

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!
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.

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!
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.

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!
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.
