If you know where to get a good photo of Buck (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
Open thy heart to the love of the Savior,
List to His pleading while yet you may;
His is the hand that will safely lead you,
Up to the glory of endless day.
Refrain
Open thy heart! Open thy heart!
Let in the sunshine from Heaven above;
List to His voice, come and rejoice!
Open thy heart to the Savior’s love.
Oft in the shadow, when friends all forsake you,
Jesus is waiting to hear your call;
Leading the way thro’ the storm and darkness,
Savior—Redeemer—yes, all in all.
Refrain
