My Opening Eyes with Rapture See

My op­en­ing eyes with rap­ture see

The dawn of this re­turn­ing day;

My thoughts

O God

as­cend to Thee

While thus my ear­ly vows I pay.

I yield my heart to Thee alone

Nor would re­ceive ano­ther guest:

Eternal King

erect Thy throne

And reign sole mon­arch in my breast.

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.

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.
