378. My Faith Looks Trustingly

1 My faith looks trustingly
To Christ of Calvary,
My Savior true!
Lord, hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Strengthen in ev'ry way
My love for you!

2 May your rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As you have died for me,
My love, adoringly,
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!

3 While life's dark maze I tread
And griefs around me spread,
Oh, be my guide;
Make darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From you aside.

4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Rolls over me,
Blest Savior, then in love
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
Redeemed and free!
