Open my eyes that I may see

Hymn lyrics to Open my eyes that I may see (1895), by Clara H. Scott, inspired by Psalm 119:18

Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.

Psalms 119:18

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
   Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
   And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
   Everything false will disappear.
3. Open my mouth and let me bear
   Tidings of mercy everywhere;
   Open my heart and let me prepare
   Love with Thy children thus to share.
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.
