GRH 416 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 eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine!

(3)
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 eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine!
