Open Eyes (The Gospel of the Glory of Christ)

Lord You opened our eyes to your light

So we could apprehend

The beauty of your glorious face

We were created for this End

You opened the eyes of our hearts

And became the light of our souls

It was by Your illumination

That You are our reason and goal

Lord open the eyes of more hearts today

Lord give vision to the blind we pray

So that men may come to know your living way 

Through the Glorious Gospel of Christ

Lord with open eyes we can see You

Are the Good and the Beautiful and the True

And savor You like we were created to

Through the Gospel of the Glory of Christ

Lord open new eyes to Your True Light

Through Your Word Lord open new minds

To the beauty of your excellencies

That with awakened  hearts they may find

Lord open the eyes of those in need

Like moths fly to a flaming light

With open eyes may they see your face

Transformed by the glorious sight

So we spread the Gospel to those we meet

Walking this earth with beautiful feet

Until Your Kingdom becomes complete

Through the Gospel of the Glory of Christ

Then with open eyes Your  truth is believed

By the light of Creation faith is conceived

And by this fresh birth, new life is received

Through the Gospel of the Glory of Christ

Through the Gospel of the Glory of Christ

Through the Gospel of the Glory of Christ
