Open my eyes, that I may see

					8.8.9.8.Ref.

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. 

3	Open my mouth and let be bear 
	Tidings of mercy everywhere; 
	Open my heart and let me prepare 
	Love with Thy children thus to share. 

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.
