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.
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!
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit Divine!

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.
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.

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.
Tidings of mercy everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.

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.
More of Thy love in word and deed;
What shall I fear while yet Thou dost lead?
Only for light from Thee I plead.

I am a young person and I want to encourage other young persons to meditate on these hymns that are filled with timeless truths. Indeed our music today is awesome but sadly there has been a shift where much of it has hidden lies about our great God. We don't have to chain ourselves to the music of the 21st century just because it is all around us. We don't have to resort to it. We can seek after righteousness and truth on websites like these and listen to timeless hymns which capture the truth of God's Word.
And just think, which is more important? Having our hearts thumping to the latest rhythm (no doubt it really is a good rhythm) or having our hearts in tune with God's will for our lives?

From reading other comments, I see the Lord is using this hymn in many hearts and minds across the world! I, too, awoke with this hymn singing inside my heart. May we be illumined by Christ's light, love, and grace.

Doing the Bible study on experiencing God and how He will be at work around us and open our eyes to see it and invite us to join Him in His work. This song came right to me. 💕

I was about to read my Bible this morning and this hymn, which I have not had the privilege of singing in church for many years, came to mind. I had to Google the words so I could sing them all. I pray many young people will find this and other hymns on the Internet and begin asking their churches to play them.

My sister shared this song with me a few days ago. I am glad I am able to access it on the internet. It is beautiful and has touched my heart, profoundly. It is now one of my devotional songs that I'll keep in my heart.

I was praying this morning in my normal devotion hour, and this hymn started singing In my head. I had to reach out to my laptop and play it from there as I had a wonderful devotion. Glory be to Jesus for His grace and redemption from sin!

A beautiful prayer indeed! To open my senses to know and understand God's purpose in my life and to fear nothing, assured of God's love and His leading.

What a wonderful service you provide. Some of the words have been stuck in my mind, but I could not remember the name of the song. I love it! Many thanks.
