My Faith Looks Up to Thee

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 2,209 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour divine! Now hear me while I pray, Take all my guilt away; Oh, 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, Oh, 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 Saviour, then in love Fear and distrust remove; Oh, bear me save above, A ransomed soul!
