(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
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 wavenotes fall on my ear, Ev’ry thing 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 mouth, and let me bear Gladly the warm truth ev’ry where;
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 heart — illumine me, Spirit divine!
