“My faith looks up to Thee”


 
Hymn written by Dr. Ray Palmer

(1)

My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
         Saviour Divine!
Now hear me while I pray:
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, may I 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,
Oh, 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 sorrow's 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 Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
         A ransomed soul!
