| | | My Faith Looks Up to Thee |
| | | Ray Palmer (1808–1887) |
| |
| |
| My faith looks up to thee, | |
| Thou Lamb of Calvary, | |
| Saviour divine! | |
| Now hear me while I pray, | |
| Take all my guilt away, | 5 |
| O let me from this day | |
| Be wholly thine! | |
| |
| May thy rich grace impart | |
| Strength to my fainting heart | |
| My zeal inspire! | 10 |
| As thou hast died for me, | |
| O may my love to thee | |
| Pure, warm, and changeless be,— | |
| A living fire! | |
| |
| While life’s dark maze I tread, | 15 |
| And griefs around me spread, | |
| Be thou my guide; | |
| Bid darkness turn to day, | |
| Wipe sorrow’s tears away, | |
| Nor let me ever stray | 20 |
| 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, | 25 |
| Fear and distrust remove! | |
| O bear me safe above,— | |
| A ransomed soul! | |
