This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 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 

All thru life's transient dream,

Until death's sullen stream

Shall o'er me roll,

Blest Savior, with Thy love,

Fear and distrust remove;

Make me Thy grace to prove,

Transform my soul.
