open my eyes that i may see

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.

CHORUS
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 dear;
And while the wave-notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear,

Open my mouth, and let me bear
Gladly the warm truth everywhere;
Open my heart, and let me prepare,
Love with Thy children thus to share.
