  • My Great Grandmother told me that this was one of her four favorite hymns. She is my all time favorite person and was my closest friend and relative.. When she died I told the family and they had these four hymns sung at her funeral. When I have time I will search my memory to remember what the other three were. Sometimes I remember. I still cry when I think about her...

  • Got to be one the most hauntingly beautiful melodies & harmonic structures ever written...I grew up hearing it in church, but didn't really appreciate its complex simplicity until I was older.

  • one of the " BEST LOVED HYMNS " indeed!

    silently now i wait for Thee, ready my God, Thy will to see....may God bless you all, and the memory of Clara H. Scott.

  • Praise God Almighty!! Father, Son and Holy Spirit!!

  • Do folks know the story of Clara Scott Fisk who wrote this hymn? She was waiting for her husband in a wagon; the horse bolted and she was throw out; she hit her head and she was killed. God took this woman in an instant.

    I LOVE this hymn. (Google her for the whole story)

  • A little girl in her new Easter dress Covered her eyes as though a princess Not to ignore, but in fun to play Hide and see in a peek a boo way And for her I sang this song As a tear trickled along Memories of a yester year Came upon me all so clear My mothers voice and her piano As she rejoiced, her face all aglow Now my eyes have opened and I can see! T'was love she had been sharing with me! thanks for inspiring!
  • Thank you for posting this. I love this hymn.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  •  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!
