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

       And a way for us to 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!
