#1173

 

 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,

    Everything 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

    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 eyes, illumine me,

   Spirit Divine!

 

 4  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 eyes, illumine me,

   Spirit Divine!
