MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE<br />
(United Methodist Hymnal #452)<br />
My faith looks up to thee, thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine!<br />
Now hear me while I pray, take all my guilt away,<br />
O let me from this day be wholly thine!<br />
May thy rich grace impart strength to my fainting heart, my zeal inspire!<br />
As thou hast died for me, O may my love to thee<br />
pure, warm, and changeless be, a living fire!<br />
While life’s dark maze I tread, and grief's around me spread, be thou my guide;<br />
bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow’s tears away,<br />
nor let me ever stray from thee aside.<br />
When ends life’s transient dream, when death’s cold, sullen stream shall o’er me roll;<br />
blest Savior, then in love, fear and distrust remove;<br />
O bear me safe above, a ransomed soul!<br />
I AM THINE, O LORD<br />
(United Methodist Hymnal #419)<br />
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice, And it told Thy love to me;<br />
But I long to rise in the arms of faith, And be closer drawn to Thee.<br />
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, By the power of grace divine;<br />
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, And my will be lost in Thine.<br />
O the pure delight of a single hour that before Thy throne I spend,<br />
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend!<br />
There are depths of love that I cannot know till I cross the narrow sea;<br />
There are heights of joy that I may not reach till I rest in peace with Thee.<br />
Refrain<br />
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To the cross where Thou hast died;<br />
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To Thy precious, bleeding side.<br />
