1 Venha, Senhor, meus olhos abrir,
Tua conquista, eu assistir,
Sim a chave eu quero do porvir,
E pra Sião eu quero ir.

Refrão:
Ansioso almejo Meu Senhor,
Pronto pra Teu querer Jesus,
Meus olhos, abra com amor…
Divina Luz!

2 Deixe, Jesus, eu escutar,
E da verdade eu desfrutar,
E com clareza vem me mostrar,
Que a falsidade irá falhar. [Refrão]

3 Sim minha boca vem abrir,
Pra Tua Palavra eu difundir,
Jesus meu coração vem remir,
Um filho Teu vou me sentir. [Refrão]
