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.
