Open our eyes, O Lord,
that we may behold the wondrous wisdom
of Thy Word.
Pilgrims and strangers though we be,
hide not Thy commandments
or Thy presence from us.
We rejoice, O God,
that Thou hast made the way so plain
that wayfaring humans
need not grope in darkness.
By the beauty and bounty
and order of Thy creation,
by illumined souls,
who have caught some vision of Thy truth,
by the great heritage of our faith,
by Thy Word in our Holy Scriptures,
and, above all, by Thy blessed Son, our Lord,
enlarge our vision of Thy goodness,
and Thy glory.
