My Dad is wanting the words to this song probably sang when he was a child in the 50's

Trust this is the song you are looking for.
I transcribed this Kingsmen's version from youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y-I8LElKaQ
I couldn't get every word right but I enjoyed this
lively remdition ...

When I look around me, troubles all abound me
trying to offend on every hand
I'm looking above while living below
when I get discouraged on my upward journey
if we count the deeds of sinful man
I'm looking above while living below

Chorus:
Looking toward the Savior, I will never waver
-?- will be dashing to and fro
He will find me resting in the Saviors blessing
'til I reach that homeland of the soul
always looking upward as I travel onward
waiting for the time when I must go
I'm looking above while living below

Gladly I will labor for my Lord and Savior
pressing on to do what He has said
I'm looking above while living below
-?- in the story, on my way to Glory
never giving heed to what's ahead
I'm looking above while living below
