Text: | Open, Lord, My Inward Ear |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | OBEDIENCE |
Composer: | Malcolm Williamson |
1 Open, Lord, my inward ear,
and bid my heart rejoice;
Bid my quiet spirit hear
Thy comfortable voice;
Never in the whirlwind found,
or where earthquake rocks the place,
Still and silent is the sound,
The whisper of Thy grace.
2 Show me, as my soul can bear,
the depth of inbred sin;
All my unbelief declare
the pride that lurks within:
Take me, whom Thyself hast bought,
and bring into captivity
Every high aspiring thought
that would not stoop to Thee.
3 Lord, my time is in Thy hand,
my soul to Thee convert;
Thou canst make me understand,
though I am slow of heart;
Thine in whom I live and move,
Thine, Lord, the work, the praise is Thine!
Thou art wisdom, power and love,
and all Thou art is mine.
