Representative Text

1 Open your heart to Jesus;
His peace you can always find;
In moments of deepest affliction,
In ev’ry distress of mind.

Refrain:
Open your heart to Jesus,
To Jesus your dearest Friend;
No ear is more heeding;
No love is more pleading;
Open your heart to Jesus.

2 Open your heart to Jesus;
When thirsting upon the way,
His presence shall fill thee with gladness,
His blessing shall crown each day. [Refrain]

3 Open your heart to Jesus,
When fainting upon the road;
In times of temptation and trial,
Oh, open your heart to God. [Refrain]

4 Open your heart to Jesus,
For so He has done to thee;
‘Twas opened in love and in pity;
‘Twas opened on Calvary. [Refrain]
