Open My Eyes That I May See (Hymn)

Open My Eyes That I May See
(Hymn by Clara H. Scott)

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

2 Open my ears that I may hear
Voice of truth Thou sendest clear,
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
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!

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.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see.
Open my mouth, illumine me, Spirit divine!

4 Open my mind that I may read
More of Thy love in word and deed.
What shall I fear while yet Thou dost lead?
Only for light from Thee I plead.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see.
Open my mind, illumine me, Spirit divine!

5 Open my way that I may bring
Trophies of grace to Christ, my King;
Echoed in love Thy word shall out-ring,
Sweet as the note that angels sing.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see.
Open my way, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of thy law.
Psalms 119:18
