Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour 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 When ends life's transient dream----
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll----
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove ;
Oh, bear me safe above----
A ransomed soul.
