The Convention Hymnal Title of Hymn 59: My Faith Looks Up to Thee by Ray Palmer

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 away,
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!
Ray Palmer
