"Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus," one of the most beloved songs of the nineteenth century, has endured to this day. Some know that Helen Lemmel (1863-1961) felt inspired to write this song after reading a leaflet shared by a missionary friend.

How their talents merged over time and distance to create this inspiring hymn. Their lives and world travels come alive through the stunning paintings of award-winning children's illustrator Tim Ladwig. You'll also find the full text of "Focussed"-the text that inspired the song.Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus: A Story and a Song is a lovely gift book for children or adults-those who already love the song and more.
