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!
