Open My Eyes, That I May See

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!

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!

Open my mouth, and let me bear

gladly the warm truth 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 mouth, illumine me,

Spirit divine!
