24. Lord, Open Thou My Heart to Hear

1 Lord, open Thou my heart to hear
And through Thy Word to me draw near;
Let me Thy Word e'er pure retain;
Let me Thy child and heir remain.

2 Thy Word doth deeply move the heart,
Thy Word doth perfect health impart,
Thy Word my soul with joy doth bless,
The Word brings peace and happiness.

3 To God the Father, God the son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Shall glory, praise, and honor be
Now and throughout eternity.
