The New Church Hymnal ‎#303

303. Open My Eyes That I May See

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 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!

3 Open my way that I may bring
Trophies of grace to Christ, my King;
Echoed in love Thy word shall out-ring,
Sweet as the note that angels sing.
Silently now, I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my way, illumine me,
Spirit divine!
