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.

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.

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.

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..

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)?
