The Heavenly Vision

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face; And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace.

"The Heavenly Vision", also known as "Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus" (the first line of its chorus), is a hymn written by Helen Howarth Lemmel.

[4] In 1989, Christian singer-songwriter Russ Taff sang it as part of a medley with "Near the Cross" and "My Jesus I Love Thee" on the various artists album Our Hymns.

[6] Country artist Alan Jackson's recording of this song for his father-in-law's funeral in 2005 became the inspiration for his 2006 gospel album Precious Memories.

Also in 2019, Sovereign Grace Music released the modern hymn "Turn Your Eyes" based on Helen Lemmel's chorus on their album The Glorious Christ (Live).
