More than sixty years ago my teacher, Mr Smythe, wanted to include this beautiful hymn in school assembly. Nobody wanted to sing a solo. He knew I had a good reading voice, and asked me to read the words. They have been with me ever since. When I visited my daughter's church in the UK, before COVID-19 struck, the musicians played and sang the hymn beautifully. At the end one of the leaders came and sat next to me and asked, "Why are you crying Steve?" I told him how much the words meant to me, they are a gospel in miniature, and then he asked me to tell the whole church. I can't help but cry every time I hear the hymn. Jesus is everything to those who believe on His name.

This is one of my favorite hymns. My mom, Judy, sang in the NCC for many years and it was one of the greatest highlights of her life. She adored the choir. She passed in 2018 and every song from the NCC reminds me of her. 🥰

Fantastic rendition, belongs at the end of a huge cinematic movie if not at the gates of Heaven

For those, who want to sing along. This song nurtured me in my childhood, then I was aspiring to become a propper Christian, even before I was allowed to become Baptised. I started my journey at the age of 6 and finished at 21 (2003) Because Baptists don't baptise children, but on the confession of Self. Been walking with Jesus Christ ever since. Keep pushing on your journey and never relent! For you are not alone. Take up Lord Jesus Christ and All the Angels in the Heavenly Choir. If your wish is to become Christian this Christmas, as I was Baptised on the last Saturday of the year, give your name up, and be blessed. Welcome in the Choir of the Lord, Onwards Faithful Christians!!" <3 (Y) UWU

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light
Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one
Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art
High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all

Beautiful presentation of a great hymn.

Beautiful Irish Hymn. I love it and listen to it often.

They skipped a verse or two there. Here are the lyrics:



Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art;
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tow’r:
Raise Thou me heav’nward, O Pow’r of my pow’r.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heav’n’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
