Open My Eyes, that I May See | 500
Words and Music by Clara H. Scott (1841-1897)
Verse 1: Open my eyes, that I may see glimpses of truth thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key that shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I wait for thee, ready , my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes: illumine me, Spirit divine!
Verse 2: Open my ears, that I may hear voices of truth Thou sendest clear,
And while the wavenotes fall on my ear, everything false will disappear.
Silently now I wait for thee, ready , my God, Thy will to see;
Open my ears: illumine me, Spirit divine!
Verse 3: Open my mouth, and let me bear gladly the warm truth everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare love with thy children thus to share.
Silently now I wait for thee, ready , my God, Thy will to see;
Open my heart: illumine me, Spirit divine!
Give to the Winds Thy Fears | 326
Words by German, Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676), translation, John Wesley (1703-1791)
Music by Henry John Gauntlett (1805-1876)
Verse 1: Give to the winds thy fears; hope, and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears; God shall lift up thy head.
Verse 2: Through waves and clouds and storms God gently clears thy way;
Wait for God’s time; so shall this night soon end in joyous day.
Verse 3: Leave to our Sovereign’s sway to choose and to command:
So shalt thou, wondering, own God’s way; how wise, how strong God’s Hand!
Verse 4: Let us, in life, in death, God’s steadfast trust declare,
And publish with our latest breath God’s love and guardian care.
Oceans
Words and Music by Don Moen and Paul Baloche
Verse 1: You call me out upon the waters, the great unknown, where feet may fail.
And there I find You in the myst’ry, in oceans deep, my faith will stand.
Chorus: And I will call upon Your name and keep my eyes above the waves.
When oceans rise, my soul will rest in Your embrace for I am yours and You are mine.
(Instrumental)
Verse 2: Your grace abounds in deepest waters, Your sov’reign hand will be my guide.
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me, You’ve never failed and You won’t start now.
Chorus: And I will call upon Your name and keep my eyes above the waves.
When oceans rise, my soul will rest in Your embrace for I am yours and You are mine.
(Instrumental)
Bridge (3x): Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders,
Let me walk upon the waters wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Saviour.
Chorus: And I will call upon Your name and keep my eyes above the waves.
When oceans rise, my soul will rest in Your embrace for I am yours and You are mine.
Brother, Sister Let Me Serve You | 635
Words and Music by Richard Gillard
Verse 1: Brother. Sister let me serve you; let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant too.
Verse 2: We are pilgrims on a journey, and companions on the road;
We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.
Verse 3: I will hold the Christlight for you in the night time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.
Verse 4: I will weep when you are weeking; when you laugh I’ll laugh with you;
I will share your joy and sorrow, ‘til we’ve seen this journey through.
Verse 5: When we sing to God in heaven, we shall find such harmony,
Born of all we’ve known together of Christ’s love and agony.
Verse 6: Brother. Sister let me serve you; let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant too.
