My Faith Looks Up to Thee

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 2,261 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 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.

No other work but yours, no other blood will do; no strength but that which is divine can bear me safely through. 3 I praise the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; and with unfaltering lip and heart I call this Savior mine.
