The composer of this wonderful hymn, when facing the challenge of overwhelming anxiety, turned to the Topical Guide in the LDS scriptures and read each reference under “Comfort”. She soon realized that almost every verse pointed to Christ as our greatest source of peace and reassurance. She recalls, “As I reached for my Savior, I began to feel His power flowing into my life, bringing comfort and peace, along with the courage and strength to face future challenges.” I pray all singers and listeners will be reminded of this great truth!
Look unto Christ
Text & music by Sherrie Manwell Boren
Doubt not.
For all who seek will surely find.
Doubt not.
One day you’ll see in glory bright
The Lord, who led you through the night.
Look unto Christ; receive His light.
Doubt not.
Fear not.
In blinding gale or circling fire,
Fear not.
Look to your Lord, for He is there
With wondrous pow’r and tender care.
Go forth in faith; reach out in prayer.
Fear not.
Heed not.
Through tribulation, strength is born.
Heed not.
Our Father’s love—the sweetest prize—
Exceeds the wisdom of the wise.
Look unto Christ, though foes despise.
Heed not.
Press on.
Your path may lead through briar and thorn.
Press on.
Someday with joy you shall ascend
And kneel before your Lord and Friend.
He walks beside you to the end.
Press on.
