My Faith Looks Up to Thee

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!  

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 away,  
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 Savior, then, in love,  
Fear and distrust remove;  
O bear me safe above,  
A ransomed soul!
