Open my eyes that I may see

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.

The daily Bible verse delivered to my inbox began with the opening words to this beautiful old hymn... from Psalm 119:18. Immediately, the tune flooded my mind, as did all the fond memories of singing it in church from childhood onward. I wonder if those words return so readily because they are founded in the Scriptures and God's Word is eternal (Matthew 24:35)?

I'm an old guy now/the chips are down/things seem to be hanging loosely by a thread but O' what a remnant of thread it is!

Woke up early this am with this melody on my mind.

It was so refreshing/took me back to days gone by/& of first hearing it sung standing beside my Mother in a church deep in the south.

It was there as a child I first saw the light/Fast forward today Spirit Divine awoke me soul from the first restful nights sleep I've had in years

seemingly whispered "where have you been?

1 Cor 15 The Risen Christ, Faith's Reality!

ditto:TY for posting "Open My Eyes That I May See!

Indeed Acts 17:3 God calls "all" people to repent/Come home

I had the words “open my eyes and let me see” pop into my mind this morning, I googled them and this beautiful hymn appeared. Looking at the comments, this is happening all around. Thank you to whoever put them on here.

I got a letter in the mail giving me an opportunity to order Inspirational Greeting Cards and this song was on the back of the card that was enclosed.

I thank God for that, because, in looking for the music to the lyrics I found this website.

Thank you for being here.

Preparing the Sunday School lesson for this week on 2 Kings 2-6, this song came to my mind. The prophet Elisha prayed to Heavenly Father to open the eyes of his servant who was fearful when he saw the Syrian chariots and horses surrounding their city. Elisha had told him "They that be with us are more than they that be with them." And the eyes of the servant were opened. I am grateful for the blessings I received as I heard and reviewed the words of this hymn from my childhood and I am reminded to open my eyes, ears, mouth and mind to the Holy Ghost to be guided for the Lord's work.

I was reading a devotion this morning, “You Will Have Power” by Max Lucado, from his new book Unshakable Hope. The focus was on the power of the Holy Spirit that is promised. ““You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you” (Acts 1:8). As I pondered the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through my life, the words of this hymn came to mind. How thankful I am for the old hymns and their scripture-centered messages!

I was studying 1 John 5 about praying for those in darkness and thought of this hymn. It’s words are so appropriate for both believers who seek to understand deeper truths, and those who don’t realize their actions are far from God’s will and His best for their life.

Reading John chapter 9. Jesus heals the man blind from birth. Of course the Pharisees have to question the man and his parents because Jesus healed him on the Sabbath. The man said, "All I know is that I was blind, but now I see!" How great is our God and Savior Jesus Christ! I was reminded of this song from many years ago and enjoyed reading all of the verses.

This morning I was reading 2 Kings 6:8-23, I prayed that my eyes would see the world around me with spiritual eyes, and the words of this beautiful hymn popped into my head. I felt that I was surrounded by others who pray this same prayer.

Lord, let us not be overwhelmed with the ways of the world, but open our eyes that we may see Your truth! Amen.

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!
