Open thou mine eyes

Open thou mine eyes and I shall see: Incline my heart and I shall desire: Order my steps and I shall walk in the ways of thy commandments. O Lord God, be thou to me a God And beside thee let there be none else, No other, naught else with thee. Vouchsafe to me to worship thee and serve thee According to thy commandments In truth of spirit, in reverence of body, In blessing of lips, In private and in public.
