My opening eyes with rapture see
1
My opening eyes with rapture seeThe light of thy returning day;My thoughts, O God, ascend to theeWhile thus my early vows I pay.
2
I yield my heart to thee alone,Nor would receive another guest:Eternal King, erect thy throne,And reign sole monarch in my breast.
3
O, bid this trifling world retire,And drive each carnal thought away;Nor let me feel one vain desire,One sinful thought, through all the day.
4
Then, to thy courts when I repair,My soul shall rise on joyful wing,The wonders of thy love declare,And join the strains which angels sing.
