Be Thou My Vision
Be Thou My Vision is a Hymn that I love to play, and sing. The main reason is the theology behind it. It is a prayer asking for God to give us His wisdom, His word, so He can be first, not us. What we are singing is, something we ought to ask every moment, every step we take: Christ, you be our vision. But, let us remember that His vision is for His glory and not ours. “…Thou and Thou only, first in my heart..”.
I hope this recording can be of encouragement for you. I posted the lyrics at the bottom so hopefully you can make them your own. May we all continue to seek Christ as our Vision.

Here are the words for this wonderful Hymn:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
