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,
O 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, O 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 over me
roll; Blest Savior, then in love, fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above, a ransomed soul!
