Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou My Vision (Bí Thusa 'mo Shúile) is a traditional Christian hymn, which can be traced to Ireland. The original Old Irish text, Rop tú mo Baile is often attributed to Dallan Forgaill in the 6th Century. It was translated from Old Irish into English by Mary E. Byrne in 1905. The English text was first versified by Eleanor H. Hull, in 1912, and is now the most common text used."The New Methodist Hymn Book Illustrated", John Telford (Epworth Press, London, 1934) Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Be all else to me, save that thou art Be thou my best thought, in the day or the night O waking or sleeping, thy presence my light Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word Be thou ever with thee, and I with thee Lord Be thou my great Father, and I thy true son Be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee won Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise Be thou my inheritance, now and always Be thou and thou only, thy first in my heart The King of high Heaven, my Treasure thou art My King of Heaven, thou Heaven’s bright Son O grant me his joy, and my victory is won The heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my vision, O ruler of all References Category:Songs
