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.

I went to bed last night, resolute. I woke up with this in my head just a while ago. I couldn't remember what it was initially. Our God is in control. Ex 14. Rev 17:14. 2 Kings 6:16. Be strong and of good courage. Look UP. He is coming. 🌹

I was praying as I was preparing to do my bible study and the first words of this hymn came into my mind. I looked it up and found this website and sang the song with the piano. It expressed my wishes so well. I had not thought of this song in many years. Very thankful God brought it to mind..

Yesterday I woke up with difficult decisions to make. This hymn suddenly came into my mind. I then looked it up in my hymnal and found the words gave me peace and a sense of direction. I feel the Lord spoke through this hymn to give me the direction that God wants me to go.

Having some difficulty comprehending some content of a book having to do with Prayers and declarations, the words to this hymn came to my remembrance. Especially the verse “Open my eyes that I may see, glimpses of truth thou hast for me..... ” I believe it was confirmation that I will have an “illuminated mind” to have truth revealed to my spirit regarding some answer I am searching for!

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.

While looking up scriptures this morning from a book I’m reading (‘Hearing from Heaven’ by Gloria Copeland) this Song popped into my head! Scripture: Colossians 3:15; Philippians 2:13 and Proverbs 3:5-7! Thank you for sharing this Hymn

Thank you for this website. This hymn came to mind and I wanted to k ow all of the words. Thankful I xould find it here.

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!
