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.
(Chorus:)
  Silent 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.
(Chorus:)
  Silent now I wait for Thee,
  Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
  Open my eyes, 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.
