1 Open my eyes, that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou has for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.
[Refrain]
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes (ears) (mind) (mouth)
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: [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
4 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. [Refrain]
