1.
Open my eye, show me,
Jesus, what truth is with you.
You have the key which here
opens the door to full light.
Silently, Lord Jesus, I wait for you,
only what You want to happen, happens alone.
Open my eyes, that I may see aright,
Spirit from on high!
2.
Open my ear, that bright and clear,
that it may hear, Lord, what is true before you,
that what is not louder may be revealed
and depart from me forever.
Silently, Lord Jesus, I wait for you,
only what You want to happen happens alone.
Open my ear that it may understand
Spirit from on high!
3.
Open the mouth then, that it may bear
The message you put in it.
Open my heart, that it may be imprinted
the love You have cherished be imprinted on it.
Silently, Lord Jesus, I wait for you,
only what You want to happen, happens alone.
I am entirely at Your disposal,
Spirit from on high!
