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,
Oh bear us safe above.
Ransomed souls.
ADORATION.
Holy, Almighty King,
Help us thy name to sing;
Help us to praise!
Holy and glorious,
Great and Victorious,
Ever reign over us,
Ancient of days.
