Text: | Open My Eyes, That I May See |
Author: | Clara H. Scott |
Tune: | SCOTT |
Composer: | Clara H. Scott |
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 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 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 heart, illumine me,
Spirit divine!
