My Faith Looks Up to Thee

Verse 1 My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
Be wholly thine!

Verse 2 May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire;
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!

Verse 3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread, Be thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From thee aside.

Verse 4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream, Shall o'er me roll;
Blest Savior, then, in love
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!
