Open my eyes that I may see

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.

I sit here this morning sobbing, longing for God to change me & save my marriage. This song, which I haven’t heard in years, came to mind. I am in such pain and have been demanding that God change my husband. I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen.... But I know he will change me as I lean on Him.

When I was in 1st grade I had this wonderful Grandmotherly type teacher her name was Mrs. Letterman. After we said the pledge of Allegiance she would sing this hymn and she taught it to us. Then it was everyday we sang Open My Eyes that I May See.

Ive been going through some spiritual things lately and Mrs. Letterman and this hymn keeps coming to mind.

Thank you for this resource, a reminder for those of us who were blessed enough to have grown up with these hymns, and an introduction to these wellsprings of doctrine and encouragement to those who have not yet heard. God bless your ministry.

Starting the new year with a renewed commitment to time alone with our Creator. Desiring to be closer to Him and love the things and people He loves...

Open my eyes, Lord..

Silently now I wait for Thee,

Ready, my God, Thy will to see;

Open my eyes, illumine me,

Spirit Divine!

Revised version:

1. Lord, 'tis Thy face for which I pine;

Come, open wide these eyes of mine;

Thy radiant glory before them shine;

Darkness dispel in light divine.

Lord, now I seek Thy face to see;

May Thou no longer hide from me;

Open my eyes, shine gloriously

Thy face divine!

2. Lord, my desire's Thy voice so dear;

Open my ears, that I may hear;

May Thy voice linger, constant and clear,

All Satan's falsehoods disappear.

Lord, now I seek Thy face to see;

May Thou no longer hide from me;

Open my ears and speak to me

Thy word divine!

3. Thy very self is my heart's plea;

Open my heart, fill utterly;

Thy fullness overflowing in me,

May I be wholly lost in Thee.

Lord, I now seek Thy face to see;

May Thou no longer hide from me;

Open my heart, fill bounteously

With grace divine!
