"My Faith Looks Up to Thee" by Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Text From: THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941) 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 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 Savior, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; Oh, bear me safe above, A ransomed soul! _______________________________________ Notes: Hymn #394 from _The Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: Ephesians 3:12 Author: Ray Palmer, 1830 Composer: Lowell Mason Tune: "Olivet" 1st Published in: 1831 ______________________________________________________________ This text was converted to ascii format for Project Wittenberg by Richard G.
