- 1My 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 daybe wholly Thine!
- 2May Thy rich grace impartStrength 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!
- 3While 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 strayfrom Thee aside.
- 4When ends life's transient dream,When death's cold sullen streamover me roll;Blest Savior, then in love,fear and distrust remove;O bear me safe above,a ransomed soul!
