Be Thou My Vision was requested to be put on the album by our youngest daughter, Autumn. It is in memory of Shane. I don’t know the story, but I know that there is one. It’s hers to tell whenever she chooses, however she chooses. I know there is a very special reason she requested it. May our vision be clearly and consistently Christ.
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
"Be Thou My Vision" by Mary E. Byrne
