Oh Do Not Bar Your Mind

Oh do not bar your mind

Against the light of good;

But open wide

let in the Word

And truth will be your food.

It will from er­ror free

Your long en­slav­èd mind

And bring the light of li­ber­ty

Where it shall be en­shrined.

Hid trea­sures it re­veals

To all who know its pow­er;

And all who will may light re­ceive

In this most gra­cious hour.

Then op­en wide your heart

To truth and light and love;

You then shall know your life is hid

With Christ in God ab­ove.
