Open my eyes, that I may see

by Clara H. Scott (1841–1897)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 326.

Verse 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.

Refrain

Silently now I wait for Thee, Ready, my God, Thy will to see; Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit Divine!

Verse 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.

Verse 3

Open my mouth, and let me bear Gladly the warm truth ev’rywhere; Open my heart, and let me prepare Love with Thy children thus to share.
