when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, 465

with a look of deep connection, pond'ring still unbroken ties, 659

With hearts and hands uplifted, we look, O Lord, to you, 256

With joyfulness and longing we look to you, O Lord, 13

you wounded, look on him and live., 198

looked

I looked to Jesus, and I found in him my Star, my Sun, 606

They looked up and saw a star shining in the east, beyond them far, 290

looking

looking only unto Jesus as I onward go., 585

Looking to us in the faces of need, 149

watching and waiting, looking above, filled with his goodness, lost in his love., 714

looks

As a mother looks with favor on the new life in her arms, 659

so God looks into our faces with a gaze so close and calm, 659

Who looks in love to Christ above, no fear the heart oppresses, 121

loosed

unto that Friend who loved us, and loosed us from our sins by his own blood, 252

lord

When the dark lord of loneliness prevails, 755

lords

Where other lords beside you hold their unhindered sway, 634
