Open Mine Eyes (Crosby)

Open mine eyes

dear Sav­ior

I thirst in the noon­tide heat

I pine for re­fresh­ing wa­ters

That mur­mur so cool and sweet.

Open mine eyes

dear Sav­ior

now

Open mine eyes to see

The well of Thy full sal­va­tion

That spark­les and flows for me.

Open mine eyes

dear Sav­ior

I faint ’neath the burn­ing sky

And here

in a lone­ly de­sert

For wa­ter in vain I cry.

Open mine eyes

dear Sav­ior

I know that the well is near;

But O that my strength were strong­er

Its mis­sion more bright and clear.

Whence is the voice that call­eth?

And what do mine eyes be­hold?

O Sav­ior

my pray­er is an­swered

’Tis an­swered a hun­dred fold.

Praise to Thy name

dear Sav­ior mine

Joyfully now I see

The well of Thy full sal­va­tion

That spark­les and flows for me.
