The poem, Gaze Upon Jesus, the Source of Hope and Triumph, urges readers to shift their focus from self-doubt and introspection to the redeeming power of Jesus Christ. Guided by the Holy Spirit, it emphasizes that true victory and peace come not from personal efforts, faith, or feelings, but from Christ’s blood, merits, and glory. It rejects Satan’s lies that amplify sin and inadequacy, encouraging a steadfast gaze on Jesus’ sacrifice and love. With a hopeful and triumphant tone, the poem calls for constant reliance on Christ, morning and night, assuring that following Him closely leads to eternal freedom and joy, as He is the all-sufficient source of salvation.

Lift thine eyes where hope does rise,
Beyond the self, where shadows flee.
The Spirit calls through morning skies,
To Christ alone—thy victory.

No sin too vast, no faith too small,
No wavering heart can dim His grace.
Satan’s whispers fade, his doubts forestall,
When Jesus’ merits fill thy gaze.

Not thy grip, nor joy, nor fervent plea,
But Christ’s own blood thy soul does free.
His cross, His wounds, His glory be
The anchor of eternity.

Turn from within, where fears abide,
And rest in Him who bore thy shame.
Each dawn, each night, let Christ abide,
His love thy peace, His name thy flame.

Follow close, with eyes held high,
To Jesus, source of hope’s bright call.
In Him alone thy soul shall fly,
For Christ, thy all, is all in all.
