LyicsMY faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary:
Saviour divine,
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilty away;
O, let me, from this day,
Be wholly thine.
May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart;
My zeal inspire;
As thou has died for me,
O, may my love to thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be-
A living fire.
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,
From thee aside.
When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distress remove;
O bear me safe above-
A ransomed soul.
