My faith looks up to thee

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #246 (1845) Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary; Savior divine! Now hear me while I pray; Take all my guilt away, Oh 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, Oh may my love to thee, Pure, warm, and changeless be, A burning 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, Bless'd Savior, then in love, Fear and distrust remove; Oh! bear me safe above, A ransomed soul.

No; when I blush--be this my shame, That I no more revere his name. 5 Asham'd of Jesus! yes, I may, When I've no guilt to wash away, No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 6 Till then--nor is my boasting vain-- Till then I boast a Savior slain! And O, may this my glory be, That Christ is not asham'd of me! Languages: English
