People sometimes comment that I post hymns they’ve never heard. I had never heard this one until I listened to the CD Creator, Redeemer, and King from the Wilds Christian Camp. I thought it was new, so I was surprised to find it was written in 1876.
My Faith Still Clings to Thee
My sin is great, my strength is weak,
My path beset with snares;
But Thou, O Christ, hast died for me,
And Thou wilt hear my prayers.
Refrain
To Thee, to Thee, the Crucified,
The sinner’s only plea,
Relying on Thy promised grace,
My faith still clings to Thee.
The world is dark without Thee, Lord,
I turn me from its strife
To find Thy love a sweet relief;
Thou art the light of life.
Refrain
Temptations lure and fears assail
My frail, inconstant heart;
But precious are Thy promises,
And they new strength impart.
Refrain
Unfold Thy precepts to my mind,
And cleanse my blinded eyes;
Grant me to work for Thee on earth,
Then praise Thee in the skies.
Refrain
~ H. F. Colby

Beautiful. “Unfold Thy precepts to my mind” – love that line.
