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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

Thanks for this hymn. I pray God help me and remould me for His purpose for my life.

Seeking fellowship with the Lord this morning, I googled this hymn to sing along. And what is here? A fellowship with you who have done the same thing. Praying for each of you by name, and delighting in His ever Presence.

With my soul so weary and straying far from God, I remembered this song that was usually sung on assembly ground while I was in secondary school in the 90s. Stanza 2 of the song particularly infused strength to my fainting heart. Thank You Jesus.

´"My faith looks up to Thee." Indeed, after an embarrassing departmental meeting today, I was upset with my staff hence, I was furious and annoyed.
Then, this hymn came to my mind. It automatically turned my temper to calmness. I was even making fun of the situation.
I am blessed.

Just realised today morning that after praying and thanking God for various victories for me and family, adversities notwithstanding, this song came to mind. So I googled and got it and sang it through. Wordings very enriching and inspiring. Hail the author.
Thank God for His Grace.

The stanza three of this song, Lord please be my guide and bid darkness turn to day. Wipe sorrows away from me and don't let me ever stray from Thee. Amen.

This song brings childhood memories; when I was still very little. We sang it during school assembly prayer. I didn't know the whole lyrics then and even now I had to Google the few limes stuck in my head. But the song is nostalgic. Never knew it even had more stanzas; the first stanza always plays a gleeful tune in my head, as a child and even now as am adult. It lifts my spirit and sometimes makes me wanna cry when things are rough. But God is always love and He cares. Thank You Jesus.
I sang this song in my dream last night and woke up with it this morning. The last line of stanza one "O let me from this day be wholly Thine" is very inspiring.

This hymn is a very strong medication when faced with challenges/ fear. Singing it truthfully sure heals and I do get a relief/assurance that with God one will excel and overcome.

Last night I cried so much and lost hope and for once I found myself telling God am tired take me home and take care of my child. But even then, I didn't feel I would even be acceptable in heaven and for once I felt lost. I was so low. In the morning this song was singing in my spirit and I had to google it as I didn't know the wordings. I feel so encouraged by God. I feel God is telling me these words. Thank You Lord.
