Text Based On 2 Corinthians Chapter 5 (KJV)
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that,
whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent
from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

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 over me roll;
Blest Saviour, then in love, fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe with Thee, a ransomed soul!
