Hi. Today's installment in my '7th Position C Major Scale Exercises for Beginners' series is 'My Faith Looks
Up to Thee.' This hymn is an oldie, but a goodie, haha. We sing it at my church now and then--it has a nice
rhythm to it, enjoy! xD

lyrics courtesy of hymnsite.com:
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 fainting heart,
my zeal inspire!
As thou hast 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 transient dream,
when death's cold, sullen stream
shall o'er me roll;
blest Savior, then in love,
fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul!
Well, that's it. please comment/rate! God bless you regardless!
-Romans 10:9-10;13
