Look full in His wonderful face;

In the light of His glory and grace.


|source=Helen Howarth Lemmel}}"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. It was inspired by a tract entitled Focused, written by the missionary Isabella Lilias Trotter. Today the chorus is widely known, and has become a standard reprinted in many hymnals.[1][2]

Lemmel first published the hymn in England as a pamphlet in 1918, and then included it in a 1922 collection called Glad Songs. It was included in a 1924 American collection entitled Gospel Truth in Song and was widely reprinted in other collections.[3]

Versions

In 1992 the Christian band Newsboys included the song (combined with "Where You Belong") on their album Not Ashamed[4] and released a video of the song.

Michael W. Smith features the song on his 2001 live worship album Worship.[5]

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.[6]

The refrain of the hymn was used in the worship song, "Center" by Charlie Hall and Matt Redman.{{cn|date=February 2015}}
