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]
