Evangelical Lutheran hymnal ‎#4

4. Lord, open Thou my heart to hear

1 Lord, open Thou my heart to hear,
And by Thy Word to me draw near;
Let me that Word still pure retain,
Let me Thy child and heir remain.

2 Thy Word can move the inmost heart,
And health to soul and sense impart:
To this my soul its comfort owes,
This peace and blessedness bestows.

3 Now to the Triune God alone,
Three persons on one blissful throne,
Unceasing praise and glory be
In time and through eternity.
