1.
Whose harmless hands are open;
whose wholesome hearts are open;
whose honest words are open
shall be filled with righteous blessing
from the Lord of their safekeeping.

Such is their humanity
as saints, O Lord, who graciously
are shown the face of God to be
an open gate, a story
of a King of different glory.

Saints' harmless hands are open;
saints' wholesome hearts are open;
saints' honest words are open
to be filled with righteous blessing
from the Lord of their safekeeping.

Such is their humanity
as saints, O Lord, who graciously
are shown your face, O God, to be
an open gate's good story
of a King of different glory.

Your harmless hands are open;
your wholesome hearts are open;
your honest words are open
to be filled with righteous blessing
from the Lord of your safekeeping.

Such is our humanity
as saints of the Lord who graciously
are shown God's face in Christ to be
our open gate's good story
in our King of different glory.
