FAITH AND CONSECRATION


My Faith Looks Up to Thee 115
(OLIVET. 6,6,4,6,6,6,4)
Ray Palmer, 1830 Lowell Mason, 1832
 


  1. My faith looks up to thee,
    Thou Lamb of Calvary,
    Saviour divine!
    Now hear me while I pray,
    Take all my guilt away,
    O let me 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,
    O 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 a way,
    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 ;
    O bear me safe above,
    A ransomed soul! Amen.
