I gaze into Thy heavens, Lord,
The sun, the stars, I see;
O, grant me sight to look beyond
Into Eternity.
I see my world that doth surround,
The friends, the flowers I love,
O, give me faith and grace to climb
Unto the heights above.

The new birth of Thy Spirit, Lord,
Doth give man power to see
The hidden things unknown before,
And live at peace with Thee.
Once more I gaze into the sky,
Beyond the stars I see
The face of Jesus Christ revealed
In vision comes to me.

I see the new Jerusalem,
That city wondrous fair,
With streets of gold, whose gates are pearls
And gems both rich and rare.
There Angel hosts do Him surround
In glorious majesty—
The King of Kings upon His Throne,
The Christ of Calvary.
