Open My Eyes, That I May See

glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;

ready, my God, Thy will to see;
open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!

voices of truth Thou sendest clear;

ev’rything false will disappear.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
ready, my God, Thy will to see;
open my ears, illumine me,
Spirit divine!

open my mouth, illumine me,
Spirit divine! Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: SCOTT

I Want a Principle Within
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 228 hymnals Topics: Sanctifying Grace Lyrics: 1 I want a principle within
of watchful, godly fear,
a sensibility of sin,
a pain to feel it near.
I want the first approach to feel
of pride or wrong desire,
to catch the wand’ring of my will,
and quench the kindling fire.
2 From Thee that I no more may stray,
no more Thy goodness grieve,
grand me the filial awe, I pray,
the tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make,
awake my soul when sin is nigh,
and keep it still awake.
3 Almighty God of truth and love,
to me Thy pow’r impart;
the mountain from my soul remove,
the hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain
my reawakened soul,
and drive me to that blood again,
which makes the wounded whole. Scripture: Proverbs 7:2 Used With Tune: GERALD

Take Time to Be Holy
Author: William D. Longstaff Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 326 hymnals Topics: Sanctifying Grace Lyrics: 1 Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord;
abide in Him always, and feed on His word.

forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.

spend much time in secret with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be;
thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.

and run not before Him, whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow, still follow the Lord,

each thought and each motive beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,
thou soon shalt be fitted for service above. Scripture: Leviticus 20:7-8 Used With Tune: HOLINESS

O For a Closer Walk with God
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 with repeat Appears in 1,387 hymnals Topics: Sanctifying Grace Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heav'nly frame,
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb,
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb.
2 Where is the blessedness I knew,
when first I sought the Lord?
Where is the soul's refreshing view
of Jesus and His Word,
where is the soul's refreshing view
of Jesus and His word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their mem'ry still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill,
but they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
and drove Thee from my breast,
I hate the sins that made Tee mourn,
and drove Thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from Thy throne,
and worship only Thee,
help me to tear it from Thy throne,
and worship only Thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb,
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb.
Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: ZERAH

New Every Morning Is the Love
Author: John Keble 1792-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 367 hymnals Topics: Sanctifying Grace First Line: New ev'ry morning is the love Lyrics: 1 New ev'ry morning is the love
our waking and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life and pow'r and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiv'n,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heav'n.
3 If on our daily course our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 Old friends, old scenes will lovelier be,
as more of heav'n in each we see;
some sof'ning gleam of love and prayer
shall dawn on ev'ry cross and care.
5 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask:
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
6 Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love
fit us for perfect rest above;
and help us, this and ev'ry day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Scripture: Psalm 4:8 Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
