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,
everything 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
tidings of mercy everywhere;
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!

Open my mind, that I may read
more of Thy love in word and 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 heart, illumine me,
Spirit divine!
