LYRICS:
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? The Lord is the
strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? Though an host of men were laid
against me, yet shall not my heart be afraid: and though there rose up war against
me, yet will I put my trust in him. One thing have desired of the Lord, which I will
require; even that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to
behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and to visit his temple. For in the time of trouble
he shall hide me in his tabernacle: yea, in the secret place of his dwelling shall he
hide me, and set me up upon a rock of stone. Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an
oblation with great gladness: I will sing, and speak praises unto the Lord. Hearken
unto my voice, O Lord, when I cry unto thee: have mercy upon me and hear me. My
heart hath talked of thee, Seek ye my face: thy face, Lord, will I seek. O hide not thou
thy face from me, nor cast thy servant away in displeasure. Thou hast been my
succour: leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father
and my mother forsake me, the Lord taketh me up. Be strong, and he shall comfort
thine heart; and put thou thy trust in the Lord.
(Psalm 27 excerpted)

Be Thou My Vision
Gathered from across the Collegium catalogue, Be thou my vision includes all of the church anthems and other sacred pieces for which Rutter is justly famous, representing for the first time a handy compendium of the best-loved Rutter works in their definitive performances by the Cambridge Singers, directed by the composer.

John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
