1 

There's a race for us to run — Hallelujah,

   And a way for us the race to win.

To all those who have begun — Hallelujah,

   God has spoken, "Look away to Him!"

 2 

Look away from all around — Hallelujah,

   Look away from all the strife and din;

Look away where peace is found — Hallelujah,

   Look away from everything to Him.

 3 

Look away from fickle soul — Hallelujah,

   Look away from failing self within;

Look away toward the goal — Hallelujah,

   Look away from everything to Him.

 4 

Look away from all the past — Hallelujah,

   Look away from both the good and sin;

To the living One hold fast — Hallelujah,

   Look away from everything to Him.

 5 

Look away into His face — Hallelujah,

   He who'll finish what He did begin.

O what grace to run the race — Hallelujah —

   We obtain by looking off to Him!
