1 Open thy heart to the love of the Saviour,
List to His pleading while yet you may;
His is the hand that will safely lead you,
Up to the glory of endless day.

Refrain:
Open thy heart! Open thy heart!
Let in the sunshine from heaven above;
List to His voice, Come and rejoice!
Open thy heart to the Saviour’s love.

2 Oft in the shadow, when friends all forsake you,
Jesus is waiting to hear your call;
Leading the way through the storm and darkness,
Saviour—Redeemer—yes, all in all. [Refrain]
