I never get tired of listening to (or singing) "Be Thou My Vision." The words were translated from the 8th century Irish hymn by Mary E. Byrne (1880-1931) and versified by Eleanor H. Hull (1860-1935).
This hymn means so much to me because it is not only one of my all-time favorite hymns, but also my heart's desire and my prayer!

"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Proverbs 29:18
Lord, please give me your vision, passion, and compassion! Please help me to know You more and to be more like Christ. In Jesus's name, I pray. Amen!

ReplyDeleteI love many of the older hymns. The words are so wonderful. I also love that we can visit many blogs on TSMSS and worship together. Thank you for sharing this one. I also enjoy Fernando Ortega but this version was sung beautifully too.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

I never tire of this hymn either. I also love the version by Ginny Owens, who is blind. When she sings it, it is so moving. But it's beautiful no matter who is singing it. Thanks for sharing it today.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful classic song.
ReplyDeleteBlessings...and AMEN! Yes LORD Give us Your vision, Your passion & Your Compassion to be more like You in 2010! Be THOU our Vision and keep us from perishing without sharing Your Kingdom!!! I love Fernando's version but like the video & voice of the second one! Thanks for sharing! From what I know of you, from what you share here at Living for God...this is your heart's desire & prayer lived out! I pray that this is so for you in 2010!
