OPEN MY EYES, THAT I MAY SEE
1. Open my eyes, that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful
key
That shall unclasp, and set me free.
Silently now I wait for Thee, Ready, my God, Thy will to see:
Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit
divine!
2. Open my ears, that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave-notes fall on
my ear,
Ev’rything false will disappear.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see:
Open my ears, illumine me, Spirit
divine!
3. Open my mouth, and let me bear Tidings of mercy ev’rywhere;
Open my heart, and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to
share.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see:
Open my heart, illumine me, Spirit
divine!
4. Open my mind, that I may read
More of Thy love in word or deed
What shall I fear while yet Thou
dost lead?
Only for light from Thee I plead,
Silently now I wait for Thee
Ready, my God, Thy will to see
Open my mind, illumine me, Spirit
divine.
5. Open my way that I may bring
Trophies of grace to Thee, my
King;
Echoed in love Thy word shall out-
ring,
Sweet as the note that angels sing,
Silently, now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see,
Open my way, illumine me, Spirit
divine.
