Author: Johan Ludvig Runeberg, 1804 - 77 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I lift my eyes unto heaven above,
And fold my hands to draw near thee;
For thou, dear Lord, dost thy children love,
And thou hast promised to hear me.
2 How sweet to bless thee and praise thy Name,
For thou, O Christ, art my Saviour;
Kind Shepherd, guard me from sin and shame,
And let me love thee forever.
3 A little flower in thy garden fair,
My life to thee has been given;
O Saviour, keep me in thy dear care,
And bring me safely to heaven.
4 Dear Lord, I thank thee for all thy love
And gifts divine beyond measure;
A sweeter song I will raise above
To thee, my heart's dearest treasure. Topics: The Life in Christ Aspiration Used With Tune: I LIFT MY EYES Text Sources: Tr.: Hymnal Version, 1955
