Look away from the cross to that glittering crown
From your cares weary watch look away
There's a home for the soul where no sorrows can come
And there pleasures will never decay

Look away (from the cross look away) look away (from the cross to the crown)
From the cross to that glittering crown (glittering crown)
Look away (way where you watch) look away (from the cross to the crown)
From the cross to that glittering crown

Though the burdens of life may be heavy to bear
And your crosses and trials severe
There's a beautiful hand that is beckoning come
And no heartache and sighings are there

Mid the conflicts of battles of struggles and strife
Bravely onward your journey pursue
Look away look away from the cross to that glittering crown
That's a waiting in heaven for you
