My Faith Looks Up to Thee

My faith looks up to Thee, 

Thou Lamb of Calvary, 

Savior divine! 

Now hear me while I pray, 

Take all my guilt away, 

O let me from this day 

Be wholly Thine. 

May Thy rich grace impart 

Strength to my faining heart, 

My zeal inspire; 

As Thou has died for me, 

O 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. 

When ends life's passing dream, 

When death's cold, threatening stream 

Shall o'er me roll, 

Blest Savior, then, in love, 

Fear and distrust remove; 

O lift me safe above, 

A ransomed soul! 

Amen

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Love divine, all loves excelling, 

Joy of heaven to earth come down, 

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, 

All Thy faithful mercies crown. 

Jesus, Thou art all compassion, 

Pure, unbounded love Thou art; 

Visit us with Thy salvation, 

Enter every trembling heart. 

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit 

Into every troubled breast; 

Let us all in Thee inherit, 

Let us find Thy promised rest. 

Take away our bent to sinning, 

Alpha and Omega be; 

End of faith, as its beginning, 

Set our hearts at liberty. 

O How He Loves You and Me

O how He loves you and me. 

O how He loves you and me; 

He gave His life, what more could He give: 

O how He loves you, 

O how He loves me, 

O how He loves you and me. 

Jesus to Calvary did go, 

His love for mankind to show; 

What He did there brought hope from despair: 

O how He loves you, 

O how He loves me, 

O how He loves you and me.
