My Faith Looks Up to Thee

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!

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!

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.

When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold sullen stream
over me roll;
Blest Savior, then in love,
fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul!
