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 ears, illumine me, Spirit divine!3. 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 mind, illumine me, Spirit divine!4. 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. Silently now I wait for Thee, Ready my God, Thy will to see, Open my mouth, illumine me, Spirit divine!
