My Faith Looks Up to Thee

Words: Ray Palmer · Music: Lowell Mason · 1831

Verse 1
My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away;
oh, let me from this day
be wholly thine.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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;
oh, bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul.
