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! Topics: Funeral Sacraments; Commitment; Faith; Grace; Grief, Sorrow; Guidance; Heaven; Lamb of God; Light; Loss; Love for Jesus Christ; Petition, Prayer; Redemption; Shepherd; Strength Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:16 Used With Tune: OLIVET
