8768. Open Mine Eyes

1 Open mine eyes, O Lord,
Open mine eyes;
Into my darkened heart
Let Thy light arise.
Show me myself, O Lord,
Show me Thyself, O Lord,
Show me Thy truth, O Lord,
Open mine eyes!

2 Open mine eyes, O Lord,
Open mine eyes;
Thy Word and sacrament
Let me ne’er despise!
Thou art the Way, O Lord;
Thou art the Truth, O Lord;
Thou art the Life, O Lord;
Open mine eyes.
