Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit Divine!
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.
Tidings of mercy everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.
More of Thy love in word and deed;
What shall I fear while yet Thou dost lead?
Only for light from Thee I plead.

From reading other comments, I see the Lord is using this hymn in many hearts and minds across the world! I, too, awoke with this hymn singing inside my heart. May we be illumined by Christ's light, love, and grace.

Doing the Bible study on experiencing God and how He will be at work around us and open our eyes to see it and invite us to join Him in His work. This song came right to me. 💕

I was about to read my Bible this morning and this hymn, which I have not had the privilege of singing in church for many years, came to mind. I had to Google the words so I could sing them all. I pray many young people will find this and other hymns on the Internet and begin asking their churches to play them.

My sister shared this song with me a few days ago. I am glad I am able to access it on the internet. It is beautiful and has touched my heart, profoundly. It is now one of my devotional songs that I'll keep in my heart.

I was praying this morning in my normal devotion hour, and this hymn started singing In my head. I had to reach out to my laptop and play it from there as I had a wonderful devotion. Glory be to Jesus for His grace and redemption from sin!

A beautiful prayer indeed! To open my senses to know and understand God's purpose in my life and to fear nothing, assured of God's love and His leading.

What a wonderful service you provide. Some of the words have been stuck in my mind, but I could not remember the name of the song. I love it! Many thanks.
It is a joy to be able to access traditional hymns on the Internet. This one blesses me as I listen and sing the words. Thank you for posting it.
I am familiar with the "gladly your warm truth everywhere" 3rd verse version. But Verse 4 is totally new to me. What a wonderful assurance and assurance to be led by the Spirit, just to walk in the light of His glory and grace.

What a lovely blessing this day for me. I have been wanting a "word' for 2015 and tonight the word "open" came to me and then the words to this hymn floated through my mind as confirmation that the Spirit Divine had finally answered my longing. I am so thankful.
