"Look Away From The Cross" lyrics - THE CARTER FAMILY

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

[Chorus:]
Look away (weary ones, look away)
Look away (from the cross to the crown)
From the cross to that glittering (crown), glittering crown
Look away (weary ones, look away)
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 heartaches and sighin's are there.

[Chorus]

'Mid the conflicts, the battles, the struggles and strife
Bravely onward your journey persue
Look away from the cross to that glittering crown
That's a-waitin', in Heaven for you.

[Chorus]
