To Hear and To Heed

"Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.... Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not" (Isaiah 42:18,20). "And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God" (Luke 18:43).

Lord, I hear Your sweet reproof:
"Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind."
I would not stand unmoved, aloof,
And thus no healing find.

Lord, open now my ears to hear,
And hearing, to obey.
Lord, give me sight, alert and clear,
To follow you today.
