Lyrics

O pen my eyes, that I may see Glimp ses of truth Thou hast for me; Place in my hands the won der ful key That shall un clasp and set me free.

Si lent ly now I wait for Thee, Read y, my God, Thy will to see; O pen my eyes, il lu mine me, Spir it di vine!

O pen my ears, that I may hear Voic es of truth Thou send est clear; And while the wave notes fall on my ear, Ev ’ry thing false will dis ap pear.

Si lent ly now I wait for Thee, Read y, my God, Thy will to see; O pen my eyes, il lu mine me, Spir it di vine!

Spir it di vine!

O pen my eyes, il lu mine me, Spir it di vine!

Spir it di vine!
