Apparently the writer of this beautiful song, Helen Lemme, was blind when she wrote it, along with the lyrics. She said it came wholesale to her mind without pre thought or changes, a pure gift from His Spirit. As a sad side note, her husband many years before had divorced her when she became blind. Praise the Lord that He was her true Bridegroom, and ours as well!!
I was a lost soul on my way to hell when I heard this beautiful hymn at a Christian Crusade in 1975 .... I gave my heart to Jesus Christ he saved me ... Hallelujah Amen My Lord Jesus has kept his promises to me since the day I asked him to forgive me of my sin Now I'm following him still 46 years later ... continue thank you God my heavenly father and lord Jesus
I was a child when I heard this hymn. Then, when the service finished, I asked to talk with the pastor. He took my hand and brought me to his office. When we were in, he prayed for me. That day I received Jesus as my savior and Lord.
Sono felice di sentire che tante persone, nel mondo, sono state afferrate dall'amore per Cristo. Chi percepisce di essere amato da lui riceve il dono piu' grande che possa desiderare. Si sente felice ed ogni situazione bella, difficile o dolorosa diventa una lezione di vita. Ogni momento della quotidinianita' diventa piu' leggero e sopportabile perche' la luce di Cristo sara' energia ed armonia interiore. Non delude il suo Amore e la sua grazia e chi ci conosce potra' attingere da noi tanta bonta' e testimonianza di vita anche nella malattia. Dio benedica Voi tutti che con condividete questi sentimenti.😘🤗🙏😇♥️
I was saved and born again by Jesus Christ in 2020. It's now 2024 and at times I get tempted to get a college degree and have lots of friends and experiences while I'm still young but it's so true when the lyrics say "the things of earth grow strangely dim" when I'm close with Jesus, all these worldly things become insignificant to me and I just want to live humbly and be with Jesus forever. He is my love, my peace, my refuge
Getting a degree is not a sin. It will be a tool in God’s hand if your life is fully submitted to Him. If you need to get a degree, go ahead and do so.
This song has to be in our minds all the time. We tend to look away and distract ourselves pretty much. It reminds us of how our walk should be with our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh sin has no more dominion! Wow! Deep! If we really believe it, it is like that! Lets not dristract ourselves with so many things of this world, for this is not our home. Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face and things in earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace. Such a truth! All christians can relate to this! The more we look at his glory and grace, his face, the less we love the things of this world!
This is what Mommy told us to keep doing before she died last year. She said her life wouldn't have been in vain as long as her children were saved and followed Jesus. I wouldn't trade my parents for no amount of millions. Happy Thanksgiving and Keep your eyes on Jesus Beautiful Sons and Daughters of the Most High God!!!!🙏🔥🦃
First time listening to this song and I'm already crying. First time in a long time I've cried over a song and now I can't stop. If you ever feel down or discouraged or like you're not good enough, always remember that someone loves you and knows you better than anyone. He always knows how you feel no matter what you are going through big and small things.
I lift my eyes toward the hills from which cometh my help, my help cometh from the Lord! Lord, turn our eyes upon and toward you in this very hour of human history!!! Lord, help us.

I didn't even know I knew this song, but I recently found myself singing the chorus over and over--I thank God for His Holy Spirit in me that brings songs like this to my mind--I know that I need to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author, Finisher and Perfecter of my faith!
Me too, all of a sudden i found myself singing that piece" turn your eyes upon Jesus" and after that i started looking for it here and i found this one. I must of heard many years ago and then i didnt hear it anymore. Til i started singing that tiny piece. It led me here. And i never get tired of hearing it. God bless you.
I need this hymn. Going through another hard time with my wife. I need to overcome my anger and sadness and frustration. I need Jesus with the Holy Spirit to help me because I can't do it on my own. I need to forgive her but I need to ask for forgiveness for being angry and not behaving in a Christ like manner and be forgiving and understanding
O brother Doug... so sorry to hear the difficulties you are now experiencing. Your comment brought tears to my eyes as I reflected on my same battle with anger, frustration and forgiveness. I am praying for you and your wife. I am praying for your complete healing and for your joy to return. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:6-7
doug1863 dear friend, contemplate our Lord Jesus and his precious life, then asking for the presence of the Holy Spirit begin to practice His life. Remembering that your wife is a precious gift from God and that through her, our Heavenly Father and Creator is looking forward to teach you how strong is His desire to have an intimate relationship with you. From someone who cares
Johnny Carrasquillo Dear Bro , No Battle is too great for You to go thru bec thru Christ we are made lovable only love can cover a Multitude of Sins .Maybe there are areas in yur life that u need to think n reflect what you actually have done to made yur wife angry with U .If U know you are wrong , time to change yurself n Submit to God to ask God to change you that you can be pleasing with yur wife not yur own way but God's way .If u read proverbs in the Bible you will understand it all .God bless you .Have a great n promising refresh relationship with yur wife .Jesus Bless U Abundantly !
In the middle of a storm. My husband filed our divorce a few days ago and this song has been an anchor through this season. No matter what I face, no matter the pain, no matter what I lose. My affections are set on Christ.
I had the same experience, 15 years ago when my husband of 31 years said quits to our marriage. This song has given me strength and comfort during the process of a painful event in my life. Looking back, I realized that by focusing my eyes, my thoughts upon Jesus, He gave me the power to forgive and to move on without regret and resentment.
I’m so sorry , your husband has broken his vow to the lord . But Jesus by his Holy Spirit will never leave you or forsake you . He really cares for the broken hearted . He has a plan for you .
Thinking of a dear friend who will be slipping into eternity within a very short time. As sad as those of us left behind will be, this song brings peace and happiness to me because she will literally be turning her eyes upon Jesus and looking into His face. The things of Earth will go dim as He opens His arms to her and wraps her in His love, glory, and grace. What rejoicing there will be in Heaven!
Praise YOU LORD Jesus is LORD Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth JESUS as Lord and believe in YOUR heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Only the Lord can bring this man to tears. He is so beautiful; his faithfulness is my protection; his grace is my security; his will is perfection. Thank you Jesus.
*I always enjoy country music but when I meet my parents in law I totally fell in love with this style of music. now they aren’t here anymore. First my mother in law 8 months ago got a message from God and one week ago my father in law got the same message. They are in better hands in better place. Country music is my only ways to bring them back to me. Thank you Mavis and Jim. I love you both forever for teaching me another way to enjoy life and love! 😢💖✨*
After a long weary day, I come here to hear and remember there's light and life abundant Life.....and once more turn my eyes upon Jesus and look fully in His wonderful face.
I never get tired of hearing this hymn... it deepens to the core of my soul! She who sings... who is she? She has the sweetest voice... please if someone can let me know... thank you johnny for this huge blessing. God bless you!
I absolutely love this song! It so describes the light in Jesus! He's my Savior my Redeemer, my Messiah and Lord. Jesus is King of kings & Lord of lords! He's the Author & Finisher of my faith & trust! I praise my Triune God; God the Father, God the Son, & God the Holy Spirit!!! 🙌 🙌 🙌 In John 10:30, Jesus said, "I and my Father are One." I'm now a child of God through the death & Resurrection of His blessed & beloved Son Jesus & because of Jesus' supreme sacrifice, we are now reconciled with God the Father as it was in the beginning before sin entered our world! Thank You Jesus! ❤
Jesus help me. Its like i always think of Anthony, how he died alone and in pain and with how unauthorized men were able to go near his hosp bed. And his eyes..i am hurt.Your Word alone Jesus comforts me that one day. Thats why You said You will prepare a place for us because this time would come that thjs world will no longer be safe for Your people who just wants for truth to come out.
Thank you for this wonderful song it brings a reminder to me that Jesus is the way and turning our eyes upon Him gives us a revelation and hope that the life we live now can be better if we place Christ at the epitome of our hearts ❤❤
Even now the believers and followers of Jesus are praying for you and your family Lina. God will bless you through this one way or another. Stand in His Glory and Grace even though this is likely the most difficult time of your lives. God bless you sister!
JESUS take our pain away from our hearts, take away our grief. Please. Take away our sorrows. Bless us widows with Your shield of protection and our family.
Wow, this is fantastic -- I never knew that this song had verses. I've only known the chorus. Thank you so much for posting it, with lyrics, too! Bless you.
I thank the men and women who compose these religious songs. The lyrics and melodies are so comforting. All of these just makes us feel close to God. Thank you!
I m bipolar disorder. I am not feeling well. I have suffered from mental illness for 8 years. Today i had plan to discuss with my moeslem friend about Jesus but i couldnot make it. I feel so bad how much my life has been unproductive.
Chelly Fung .... He loves you 100% right now, and, like us all, we fall short of what we would like to be .... but He loved us and loves us 100% BEFORE we ever attempt to love and serve Him ....
Does anyone know who the vocals are sung by? This is my favorite song and the best rendition I’ve ever heard. Would love it if the singers had other songs or CDs available. Thank you for posting. God keep His hands on the Christians of this age.
… looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith … (Hebrews 12:2). Born in 1863 in England, Helen Lemmel’s pastor father moved the family to the US state of Wisconsin when she was 12. From an early age, her parents were keenly aware of her profound singing voice, and in America she earned a reputation for her talent. She traveled through the American mid-west holding concerts. She moved to Germany in 1907 to refine her singing ability, and there met and married a wealthy European gentleman. After 4 years in Europe, as the fires of World War One smoldered, Helen returned to the US, touring with a mixture of her own patriotic songs and familiar hymns. At the pinnacle of fame tragedy struck. Helen went blind and her husband abandoned her, leaving her financially destitute. When asked by her friends how she was doing, Helen’s Christian faith led her to usually reply, I am fine in the things that count. While standing on a street corner in 1918, she was handed a small Christian tract written by Lilias Trotter, a missionary woman to Africa. A single line in the tract gripped her heart: So then turn your eyes upon Him, look full into His face and you will find that the things of earth will acquire a strange new dimness. Helen later wrote, I stood still and singing in my soul and spirit was the chorus, with no one conscious moment of putting word to word to make thyme or note to note to make melody. Her heart-song become the best known hymn of Helen Lemmel, Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus. Helen later published a book for children called “Story of Bible” and over 500 hymns. In 1961, at the age of 97, still active in her small Baptist church in Seattle, Washington, Helen died materially impoverished, but spiritually wealthy in Christ Jesus, her Saviour. O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There’s a light for a look at the Saviour, 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.
Psalms 27:1 (A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
I hope we find whose version is this so I can download it on my phone. Thank you for downloading this. God bless you and everyone listening to this song!

To Julz XD, please repent and do more then just remember your dad singing this song, there's another beautiful song called trust and obey, When we walk with the Lord In the light of His Word, What a glory He sheds on our way; While we do His good will, He abides with us still, And with all who will trust and obey. Trust and obey, I plead with you to please turn from this wicked world, for those who make themselves a friend in the world makes themselves at an enemy of God. Repent and be converted and be baptized washing away your sins and becoming a true born again child of God, a blood bought disciple of Jesus Christ. Read the Bible it is the instructions of life the Lord has given us.✝I say this so that you may know that the Kingdom of heaven was near you this day.
May the Lord keep you in the bosom of His love and may your salvation, sanctification and consecration unto God be preserved, shining ever brighter unto the perfect day
This was the hymn i heard playing in my head while i walked down the stairs the morning after i gave my life to Christ. And it was true, the world grew dim as i pondered the beauty of Jesus taking my sin on that cross. Priceless
Dear Sisters and brothers, during this plandemic/scamdemic Great Deception before the antiChrist system, yes we need to turn our eyes and hearts to Jesus! We are reminded to always try/test the spirits to know whether they truly be of God or the false god of the world. "For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, and of power, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 Do not be afraid, Jesus is King!
@@PrayzGod im here cause i was singing some hymns in my head and thought this said when the things of earth grow strangely dim. Cause as you can see. This hoax has you nothing to fear. But then I realize that even if it were real there still is nothing to fear. Sunday law is coming. I hope i leave all earthly things behind before it arrives.
Yes, let's all turn upon our Eyes to Jesus, even we are now facing this difficult time of this pandemic. He is our protector, healer, and provider. Nothing is impossible in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
저도 하나님께 이 마음 받칩니다.. 아버지 에게 충성하며 항복과 회개로 나아가게하소서 아버지 지금 까지 살게 해주시고 보호해주시고 아껴주신분 오직 예수님 입니다 사랑합니다 아버지,. 너무 사랑해요,. 아버지 은혜 감사합니다,. 매일 아버지를 시인하며 살게하소서... 사랑안에 살게하소서.. 감사합니다.. 여러분들 사랑합니다, 사랑합니다 , 여러분들 힘내세요,. 오직 예수님 입니다.. 힘냅시다
There are people who do not yet know the peace Jesus gives. But they can, if they are willing to surrender to Christ. We all face trials: family, work, health, finances. But the Bible gives us hope that we will come through and triumph. We just need to keep our eyes on Jesus. In John 16:33, Jesus said, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
I want to give my testimony I kept eyes upon Jesus during 1 of the worst storms I faced this year.Our Lord and savior Jesus completely restored my marriage and family.I give all the glory to Jesus and know he will answer each of your prayers keep the faith and eyes upon Jesus
Today on Good Friday, I sit quietly and listening to this song. In the midst of the turmoil going on in this Nation, my eyes I turn upon Jesus and I'm reminded of the glorious Hope we have today! I praise and thank you JESUS! Thank you for loving me!❤ This is a great opportunity if you don't know Jesus to turn to HIM and be saved, you will have life and peace today. Also, if you know the LORD and have turned away, take the moment and turn to HIM because HE loves you!❤
What an astounding song. Soon and very soon I will be home with my Jesus. Just a few more weary days then light immortal. No more pain, no more fear, no more treachery, no more worry, no more sin, no more pain. Behold, Jesus makes all things new.
