OPEN THOU MINE EYES #2

I’ve seen a thousand wonders,
By sea and mountain, been amazed.
I’ve marveled at a sunset -
By storm and thunder, I’ve been dazed.

I’ve seen men at their finest,
And by their greatness, been enthralled;
I’ve seen them at their basest;
By their degradation, been appalled.

Through microscope and telescope,
I’ve seen the great and small;
But it is through the Holy Spirit,
I’ve seen the greatest things of all!

He showed me in the Bible,
How Jesus bled and died,
And how the debt of sin was paid,
When He was crucified.

Now, when the world oppresses,
Above it, Let me rise -
And to the greatness of thy power, Lord,
Open thou mine eyes!
