American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#10

10. Lord, Open Thou Both Heart and Ear

1 Lord, open Thou both heart and ear,
That I Thy precious Word may hear;
Let me Thy Word preserve with care,
And make Thou me Thy child and heir.

2 Thy Word can move the inmost heart,
To soul and body health impart,
Sweet comfort lend in all my woe
And grace and peace on me bestow.

3 To Thee, O Triune God, alone,
Who sittest on Thy heav'nly throne,
Shall honor, praise and glory be
By all throughout eternity.
