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.

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!

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.

I was just meditating on this hymn 'With Signs Following' and this hymn kept ringing in my heart.

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!
