LyicsOur faith looks up to thee -
Thou Lamb of Calvary:
Saviour divine!
Now hear us when we pray,
Take all our guilt away;
O let us from this day
Be wholly thine.
May thy rich grace impart
Strength to our fainting heart:
Our zeal inspire
As none more blest than we,
Oh may our love to thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be -
A burning fire.
While life's dark maze we tread,
And griefs around us spread,
Be thou our guide:
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let us ever stray
From thee aside.
When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold sullen stream
Shall o'er us roll:
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distress remove,
O bear us safe above,
Ransomed souls.
