Open mine eyes, dear Sav­ior,
I thirst in the noon­tide heat,
I pine for re­fresh­ing wa­ters
That mur­mur so cool and sweet.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
