Open, Lord, My Inward Ear

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #31 (1977) Lyrics: 1 Open, Lord, my inward ear, and bid my heart rejoice; Bid my quiet spirit hear Thy comfortable voice; Never in the whirlwind found, or where earthquake rocks the place, Still and silent is the sound, The whisper of Thy grace. 2 Show me, as my soul can bear, the depth of inbred sin; All my unbelief declare the pride that lurks within: Take me, whom Thyself hast bought, and bring into captivity Every high aspiring thought that would not stoop to Thee. 3 Lord, my time is in Thy hand, my soul to Thee convert; Thou canst make me understand, though I am slow of heart; Thine in whom I live and move, Thine, Lord, the work, the praise is Thine! Thou art wisdom, power and love, and all Thou art is mine. Topics: The Church Lent; Christian Experience and Devotion Consecration and Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: OBEDIENCE

Open, Lord, My Inward Ear

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Voices Together #548 (2020) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Open, Lord, my inward ear, and bid my heart rejoice! Bid my quiet spirit hear thy comfortable voice, never in the whirlwind found, or where earthquakes rock the place; still and silent is the sound, the whisper of thy grace. 2 From the world of sin and noise and hurry I withdraw. For the small and inward voice I wait, with humble awe. Silent am I now and still, dare not in thy presence move. To my waiting soul reveal the secret of thy love. 3 Thou hast undertook for me, for me to death wast sold; wisdom in a mystery of bleeding love unfold. Teach the lesson of the cross; let me die with thee to reign. All things let me count but loss so I may thee regain. 4 Lord, my time is in thy hand— my soul to thee convert. Thou canst make me understand, though I am slow of heart. Thine, in whom I love and move, thine the work, the praise is thine, thou art wisdom, pow’r, and love, and all thou art is mine.
