290. My Faith Looks Up to Thee

1 My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour 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 sorrows 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.
