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.

From O Let me from this day be wholly Thine, to pure warm and changeless be a living fire, to Nor let me ever stray from thee aside, to consumating in thy grace being proven in me and the transformation of my soul. Amen Lord Jesus to this wonderful process. Work this out in Us corporately and me individually.

In his early 20s, Ray Palmer wanted to enter the ministry. But at this young age, he already felt exhausted and burnt out. Working at a dry-goods shop, studying at Yale, and teaching at a girls’ school, what he really wanted to do was to become a minister. But his schedule left him drained and depressed. One day, he chanced upon a friend, Lowell Mason, who was a musician and hymn-writer. On a lark, Mason asked his friend, Ray, if he wanted to contribute something towards a hymnal that Mason was putting together. Not having intended it for public use, Palmer sometime earlier, in a moment of despair, had composed the words of “My Faith Looks up to the Thee“. Showing these words to Mason, somewhat apologetically, Palmer was surprised to hear these words coming from his friend: “Ray, you may do many different things in your life, but I dare say that you will one day be the best remembered for these very words in your hymn “My Faith Looks up to Thee. ” Mason knew talent and inspiration when he saw it… and his prophecy turned out to be true! Though Palmer went on to enter the ministry, and wrote other hymns as well. He will always be associated with his first hymn, written ar a very low and lonely point in his life.

I learnt this hymn when I was a little and have never forgotten it. Stanza 1 & 2 particularly.
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
oh let me from this day,
Be wholly thine.
Has always made my day.

One of the best and most inspiring hymns. It is anchors us more to our Saviour and reminds us of who he was as is to us

I was praying and I was singing and this hymn came to my mind. I was singing it and I knew I wasn't getting it, I had to consult Google. I got inspired and became fulfilled at moment. God be praised always and forever.
