Author: Elizabeth Scott Appears in 142 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 My opening eyes with rapture see The light of thy returning day; My thoughts, O God, ascend to thee While 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.
