This is my favorite hymn. For some reason, God has blessed me with hearing it a lot lately. I count that as a blessing, I feel like God does that just for me , because He loves me so. He shows me He loves me in lots of little ways too, especially in nature. He doesn't have to, He is the embodiment of love. He does though, because I need to see it, feel it, know it. My saviour loves me, just the way I am.
I hummed this song to the kids when they were babies. It was the only song that would really calm them down. Now, when I hum it when they are restless, they know what I am up too. It is cute, when Ann hears it she says " this is our song Mom". I can live with that.
Be thou My Vision
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, thou my true word
I ever with thee, 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 tower
Raise thou me heavenward, O power of my power.
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, after 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.
