Author: Clara H. Scott Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #448 (1980) Lyrics: 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.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus:
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see,
Open my heart, illumine me,
Spirit divine!
Amen.
