My Faith Looks Up to Thee

(OLIVET. 6,6,4,6,6,6,4)

1. My faith looks up to thee,
   Thou Lamb of Calvary,
   Saviour divine!
   Now hear me while I pray,
   Take all my guilt away,
   O let me from this day
   Be wholly thine,
   
   
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,
   
   
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 a way,
   Nor let me ever stray
   From thee aside,
   
   
4. When ends life's transient dream,
   When death's cold, sullen stream
   Shall o'er me roll ;
   Blest Saviour, then, in love,
   Fear and distrust remove ;
   O bear me safe above,
   A ransomed soul! Amen.
