Scripture  

Ephesians 1:18 (NRSVUE)  

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened,  

so that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you,  

what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints.

Refrain  

God, open the eyes of my heart.

Quote

St. Augustine  

“Late have I loved you, Beauty so old and so new,  

late have I loved you!  

And see, you were within me, and I was in the external world  

and sought you there,  

and in my unlovely state I plunged into those lovely created things  

which you made.  

You were with me,  

but I was not with you.”

Open our eyes, O God,  

to the beauty that has always been near.
