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. Open my mouth and let me bear Tidings of mercy everywhere; (Alternate: Gladly the warm truth everywhere) Open my heart and let me prepare Love with Thy children thus to share. 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. Open my eyes that I may see Open my ears that I may hear Open my heart that I may know What the spirit of God will say
