I am Chinese. By the grace of God, I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior at age 42 20 years ago. I read the Holy Bible and pray to the Lord daily. I now have true peace, joy and the assurance of salvation. I will live to glorify the Lord for the rest of my life. Hallelujah. Thanks be to the Lord my God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Praise the Lord for giving you a new heart and nature. He did the same for me too when I was a teenager. We will meet one day in Heaven my brother. God bless you and remember that you can trust in the Lord Jesus no matter what happens. Even when things go differently to what you want or desire. Walk with Him. Please find a Bible believing Church to help you grow. Love from Zimbabwe and America
I was a pastor and I never heard this hymn before my beloved son Prem paul sang this song in the year 2012 when he passed his 10th class with distinction. But in the year 2018,May8th he went to be with the Lord as he met with an accident. Since then this hymn is ringing in my ears that I may finish my race and see my son singing this hymn before my saviour.
I fasted for 10 or 12 days and as I was reading The Holy Bible, the words came alive to me. Afterwards one of my relatives walked in and I saw her in the spirit I saw that all the name brand bags she was purchasing was to fill the emptiness in her heart. So I decided to go into my bedroom to pray for her, and as I prayed and opened up my mouth, The Holy Spirit fell on me like fire, and I started to speak in tongues. I've never been the same person after that, JESUS is LORD.
This is the hymn that always brings me home to our Lord. I was a soldier, it was our Regimental hymn. I fought earthly battles, rightly or wrongly. Now I fight spiritual battles daily within. This hymn gives me strength. In Christ alone my hope is found.
Thank you for serving your country. I have talked to quite a few soldiers about Jesus Christ. I'd say a few had faith. One lad talked to me, asking if was okay to join the army as a Christian. I said there is a big difference between stabbing someone in the street and picking up a gun to defend your country. God bless you
"Thou my best thought by day or by night" oh how sweet it is, to think of Him, to speak of Him, to be with Him; in His presence is our soul's richest delight unlike any this world can offer.
I just climbed the mountain 2020, got my video game to a point where I can make money, employ people and help people. No as I look to the next path to take to help others with my company, I have a great vision from on top of a mountain. However, my vision is blind compared to God's vision. So God, guide me in my paths so that I can lift others up and on the path of Jesus.
Heard this song for the first time in a movie, the Pilgrim's Progress. I couldn't but cry and i was overwhelmed by the beauty of its lyrics. I sing it whenever I'm in distress or wanting to yield to the flesh.
Thank you @samferanmi9312 for mentioning the name of the movie Pilgrim's Progress. I have forwarded this movie to my friends. God blesses you and yes the song is beautiful
I've listened to this song so many times and sung it out loud while I'm working in my yard; it's in my head all the time even when I wake up in the middle of the night.
I know a pastor who only lets his congregation sing songs less than 2 years old, in a misguided interpretation of "sing a new song." This song is over 1000 years old and still such a blessing!
My Pastor , Pastor Andrew let us sing songs of old n teaches us truths hot from His oven!. Our character took shape..many came broken defeated n felt worthless. Our lives became transformed! Single mothers healed blessed their needs supplied sons finished Universities!.. I for one walked out of broken marriage. I went on to serve Him n brought others to Him to live in triumph!..All Glory to Him!
This was my son Asher’s favorite song! He passed away March 17 in Butterworth, Malaysia... and because of the lockdowns I could not return to say goodbye or be at his cremation!! You have won the victory over death my darling son, truly now with the best True Father ever in Heaven! Nothing on earth will ever be the same again for us, till we see you again soon when Jesus Comes!
@@markjv24 truly we are at the last hour, with all that is happening now all over the world…. Keep the faith even more stronger, it’s what will carry us till Jesus takes us to meet Him in the clouds…very soon. No matter what we are facing or goi g through, look to Jesus, encourage your heart with God’s Word and look up… God bless and watch over you till then. Stay safe and well.
This beautiful Irish hymn reminds us that if we can see the LORD HIGH AND LIFTED UP, and make this our daily vision, then all else will fall into place. With the burdens of of our own lives and our families and friends, this is not easy to do.....perhaps listening to this song daily will help us keep our hearts and mind stayed on our Lord and Saviour, Yeshua Moshiach, Iasous Xpristos, Jesus Christ, the annointed saviour, who was and is to come....love this hymn.
Millions of people who have sung this song on Earth over the last 1500 years are now singing and worshiping our Lord in heaven. How incredible it must be!
This hymn was my guiding light as a young Christian and is still as beautifully comforting to listen to and mediate on in my advancing years. Our God is the same yesterday today and forever. Amen!
There have been times that my diginity has been almost non existant. I then think of this song and realize that it isnt about all the things ive done wrong but what christ did right. He is my diginity He is my shield He is my delight. I pray to always honor Him and if I fail then to quickly repent and keep the faith and fight on wearing the righteousness of God.
You and me too brother ! But fear not, He will never let us down though we do let Him down daily. But if you are here, listening to this , then you know that and you have come here to be strengthened. You are on the right path my friend in Christ. One day we will meet! God bless you! Ian
I can relate to how you feel. me too my brother! He saved me from myself and how often since then have I sinned against him. But his grace is as immense as the universe he created.
God be our vision, our wisdom, our soul, our strength, our light, our hope our delightfulness - we DO need you days and nights... especially in this world
Another of my life's anthems. Every word is special. I see men and women, children of God, warriors for the Lord, ransomed, healed, restored and forgiven, clothed in robes of righteousness, equipped with power to do every good work and beloved and empowered by the Lord their God. And I am in their number. Whatever befall, still be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, O ruler of all.
Such a very powerful hymn.From the 1st time, I and my fellow soldiers sang this prior to going on missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, I fell in love with the words.Singing this draws me even closer to God ,knowing that despite everything in life, he is always at my right.
thank you for writing this. I am blind and I work with the soldiers at the VA hospital in Norman Oklahoma. They love to sing this song all together like this. It doesn’t matter what anyone’s voice sounds like it’s always beautiful when they sing together. It always makes me cry. Thank you for your service and I will always keep you in my prayers. Thanks again, Pam
it is a great honor to work with the soldiers at the VA as a hospice volunteer. This song especially brings comfort to my soldiers as they get ready for their final journey. Peace be with you, love, Pam
Thank you for your service for our country. We owe you and all soldiers a great thank you. And as soldiers of the Lord we march on in these difficult years of 2020 and 2021 with God as our sword and battle Shield.
@@pamelarainwater1834 Hi PAM, i just saw your answer. You are a soldier too in this realm where we battle each day Ephesians 6:12 King James Version 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. It’s lovely to hear that a hymn from my beautiful homeland of Ireland is inspiring so many people to praise and acknowledge the Heavenly Father. This hymn is most certainly inspired from Him. Thank you for being there for the soldiers who are injured in whatever way and helping them in their daily battles. I too have developed retinopathy in both eyes with a risk of blindness in the future . But I fear nothing for the Lord is with me and people like you inspire me. God bless you Pam. Your friend in Christ, Ian
14 years ago😮😮😮I just heard this hymn in a nursing home where I'm working. It touched my heart and now I came to replay it again oh lord be thou my vision 😢
Christ is your vision, wisdom, above all Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lord. You desire Christ therefore Christ is all to you desire already. Amen x 7
He like God and heaven is a paradoxical within. If you wish to enter you must enter as a child (inner child/self) If you understand these NOT SAY the words I mean live THEM. Then 1 day you'll understand ye are Gods which is another way of saying I and the father are 1. For in every religion. God is referred to as an infinite being. And even before Quonton physics everything becomes energy. Which means all is energy all is God
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I am a Black, West Indian man but there is something Scottish/Celtic about the music in this hymn that draws it to me, and will hopefully draw me to my Lord and Redeemer. (My great grandfather was a Scot)
When I listened to this song I remembered how my marriage broke down n i sang this song over n over again. I never had a smart phone but I I remembered the lyrics at least some of it n I sang n felt comforted. All Glory to Him
The third stanza where it says be thou my battle Shield was not in my hymnal. I am so glad to hear this verse for the first time. Lord You Are My Sword my dignity my delight my shelter and Hightower and power of my power.
The verse is based on St Paul's letter to the Ephesians CH. 6 where he writes about putting on the whole armour of God - the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit and the shoes of the gospel of peace.
I love this hymn. We've recently sung this in Korean in the church where I attend here in South Korea. I actually love singing in Korean despite it being my second language and requiring me to think so hard about what I'm singing, but regardless of language, this is a beautiful hymn, and one I love to sing.
Steve Howard I’m the same way - I’m more emotional when I sing or listen to songs in Chinese. It just hits a different part of my brain and seems more beautiful and deep sometimes.
yes its harder then thee original english these words comes from the ''King James Bible'' Though Represent diferent way like ''you'' or ''your'' and if you see the word THEE it means ''You'' I hope this will help you understand the old version of english that was from ''England'' God Bless !!!
I lived in Korea for a few years where I taught English at some Christian schools there. I loved singing in Korean. I miss Korea. I want to visit next year if I can. Hopefully, the COVID virus stays at bay.
Many comments are mentioning the often omitted third verse, but this wonderful has SIX verses, and most hymnbooks only have FOUR. What a blessing this is!!!
Love the Bodhran, Irish flute and other praise instruments as we march off to victory in Christ Jesus trusting He will be there for us in the midst of the battle heat......🔥☘💚His mercy and grace will follow us all the days of our lives and will be sufficient to see us through to the end which is actually our True Beginning
My Grandma and i sing this at church. Every month we get to sing at church: my grandma plays guitar and i sing. Lord be with u all and have a great life! Bless You All!!!
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, and 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, fist 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 heav'ns Son. Heart of my own heart, whatever befall; Still be my vision, O ruler of all. 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.
Hallelujah, all praise be to God almighty. I heard this in my heart ❤ in middle of nite. Thank you Jesus, be thou my vision. In Jesus's mighty name. Amen 🙏
It's difficult for me to sing this song...I like it so much...that I usually go to tears...many times I have to just listen to the song...maybe one day..I will get to sing it without my throat constricting and weeping.
I love everyone of the hymns,no matter how old,but Be my vision is one of my favorite. Thank God for all these beauties. Thank God for Utube. Blessings to all ❤
I cry when I hear it but from my own shortcomings, wasted time, missed opportunities and knowing by far the best yrs if my life are gone. It cuts me to the quick to know I have had such knowledge and conviction for over 35 yrs and havent been faithful in secret, all-important ways...and knowing how many of the things he had for me will never be.
I’ve never needed this song more than now. I’m in a hard situation and I’ve pleaded to god to show his mercy and forgive me. I repent of my sin and need him to intervene in my life.
God loves you...He forgives you...live the rest of your life...doing good.. I am up in the worst fight of my life in Hong Kong...This song came to me today..
I have had always loved this hymn when I first heard it by 4HIMs more than a decade ago. The music so soothing and lyrics so beautiful, reminding us that we are GOD’s children.
I love this version not only because it's immensely beautiful and uplifting, but because it includes the oft-omitted third verse: 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, oh power of my power This verse is especially important in our modern age, because the truth is we are at war, but "...we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12 Christ has already won the victory for us. Apart from Him we can do nothing, but "The things impossible with men are possible with God." -Luke 18:27
I agree. I had a tough time even finding the lyrics that included this verse. I am preparing an ASL translation for a wedding. They have it as a second verse. Thank you for posting. God bless you.
I was going through the throws of splitting up with my friend..I couldn't sing during service..my vocal chords felt powerless and dry. Then quietly something stopped trying in me and I heard the band playing wonderfully and as i listened I started to try again and it's no exaggeration that I sang the 2nd half of Be Thou My Vision better than I've sung before in a church or with any karaoke mic! Praise God for showing his healing strength as always exactly at the right time.
I only first heard this a few weeks ago, and it immediately became my favourite song. Now I learn it's a very ancient song. There must have been untold brothers and sisters in Christ who also loved the same song in their time long ago.
Sing this without crying.. forgive us Father for we only find glory though the forgiveness of the heaven host of Jesus Christ himself. May all whom read this come to know you and have a personal relationship with you. Thank you my heavenly father for giving us your son to die for all of our transgressions. He loves you and only through blood of christ you are for given. God bless all of you who read this for now and into eternity
What a SPLENDID UPLIFTING HYMN . ITS heart not to SMILE WHEN I LISTEN TO THESE MALE VOICES IN UNISON, in a world where this is not always the case. THANKYOU XXXX
iam in tears every time i.I feel it covers our living in this world and life after death.Its just amazing.The one who wrote it must have felt God every moment of their life to write a song like this.Gog will touch lives through this song.I love it every tim i hear it.I never was touched by any song like this before
In this time of spiritual battle, Oh God! let You be our vision. To all christians all over the world who are in persecution, Be Thou their vision.🙏🙏🙏 #PrayinforSriLanka
This song was sung at my parents wedding. We had found the tape recording of the event, including the song. And just today, this was performed at our church. And again during the offering. I got to see my mom singing along softly with her eyes closed, clearly remembering her wedding and enjoying it
Riches I heed not *Nor mans empty praise* !!! Thine my inheritance now and always *Thou and Thou only, first in my heart* !!! High King of heaven my Treasure Thou art those lines in this beautiful verse that are in bold I feel God is highlighting them for me right now, especially being a 16 these are very important truths to know
AMEN. I loved the hymn even before I learned that verse. The church today surrenders SO much by skipping verses!!! And brothers and sisters -- MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE!
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Last night (February 24), I attended a Lent service at my sister church. We sang this as the Closing Hymn. It is #793 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
This is my son Asher’s favorite hymn. Today is his 1st Year Memorial Day... Rest In Peace our precious darling Asher, with Jesus, Our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Host in Heaven. We will meet soon in the air when Jesus comes back for us!! How we long for this day, till then my darling boy. Asher Isaac 15 December 1986 - March 17 2020. ✝️💙
I'm not religious, but I remember this with fondness from my days in primary school. I've always loved it and this is a beautiful version of a hymn that never fails to stir the soul.
Listening to these Gospel songs give me the forever joy that money wealth or fame can never buy. It reinforces every moment of my life that God's love liveth in us. What can I say but to continue to appreciate God for founding me and reminding every moment of my life not to be afraid for He is with me and I am not alone. Please pray for me wherever you are as your heart directs you.The Eternal God will bless you all as you sing to glorify the Father whilst granting many souls peace. Amen
I pray that God is always my vision. I now feel complete. How could one want anything more than letting God be there vision. So thankful for His teachings. Praise God
From a child I've loved this great Christian hym of our time. This morning it came in my spirit and I looked it up. April 14.2022 God is still rhou my vision. May he be yours too and always 🙏 💕 .
it is so encouraging to read the comments at this time, although we may not be able to have fellowship with other Christians in church at this moment, I am reminded now that we are part of one body and one family in Christ, and many of my brothers and sisters everywhere around the world are praising Jesus right now Praise The Lord!!!
Nothin like a bunch of men givin their souls in worship to our loving Father. I Thy true son, gives me tears every time I sing it out... er i mean dust in my eyes.... not that I cry or anything *wipes eyeballs*
My dear boss passed away last week aged 42 leaving behind her mother , brother , young daughter and brother. A kind soul and A great friend to many who touched many lives . May she Rest In Peace with our Lord and Saviour and all the angels and saints.
The first time i know i heard this was in "A River Runs Through It" and it moved me as if it were own personal anthem from a life I can't remember. Couldn't wake to sing it any Sunday when we gathered as the church. Just the sound is enough to find heart in a pew anywhere in Ireland, no matter where the rest of me is.
We sang this in choir and I still hum it from time to time. This was during the 90s mind you when I was I private school but we all LOVED this song and it was in this arrangement too. This is definitely a song i don't mind getting stuck in my head.
I absolutely L-O-V-E this version of this song, Be Thou My Vision, the lyrics, the arrangement, the music....WOW!.........beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! My praise song! Thank you guys!
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. This is to all denominations: If Philippians 1:12-21 is your Scripture of the Day, this is a good hymn to compliment it. Another one is the beloved "Trust and Obey."
"Thou and Thou only first in my heart, High King of Heaven my treasure Thou art." Those words speak very loudly to me along with, "Still be my vision, O Ruler of all." I love this song and I love Jesus more than anything else. Thank you for posting this video and may God bless you all the days of your life.
Searching for early hymns, I came across this one and was brought to tears as i sang the lyrics! Thank You to whomever has taken time to post it and bless me today!

These old traditional hymns have such a genuine impact. They convey a message and a feeling that is unmatched by repetitive modern songs. Beautiful.

I told my wife and children when the day comes that I want this song sung at my funeral.
"Thou my best thought by day or by night" oh how sweet it is, to think of Him, to speak of Him, to be with Him; in His presence is our soul's richest delight unlike any this world can offer.
Absolutely my favorite. Christians, I beg you - MEMORIZE all the verses. You WILL need them one day...soon.
Yes. The Lord is so close.
God bless you and your family in the name of Jesus Christ
I just climbed the mountain 2020, got my video game to a point where I can make money, employ people and help people. No as I look to the next path to take to help others with my company, I have a great vision from on top of a mountain. However, my vision is blind compared to God's vision. So God, guide me in my paths so that I can lift others up and on the path of Jesus.
Read this and agree completely.

Memorize the hymns, right?

I know a pastor who only lets his congregation sing songs less than 2 years old, in a misguided interpretation of "sing a new song." This song is over 1000 years old and still such a blessing!
I know a priest who only allows super old hymns - I think both practices are wrong!
It’s flesh. The works the flesh are manifested in such.
If that's his interpretation of that bible verse, maybe he ought change careers.
I don’t know about fleshly, but it is definitely misguided.

No reward of heaven until Christ returns as King of Kings

Who is listening and singing this oldest hymn in 2024?
Catholics. The tune is Slane, for it was on the hill of Slane that St Patrick lit the Easter fire in a pagan land.
I still listen this hymn in 2024 will continue to listen to until the day I die ❤
Love this song

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
It’s lovely to hear that a hymn from my beautiful homeland of Ireland is inspiring so many people to praise and acknowledge the Heavenly Father. This hymn is most certainly inspired from Him.
Thank you for being there for the soldiers who are injured in whatever way and helping them in their daily battles.
I too have developed retinopathy in both eyes with a risk of blindness in the future . But I fear nothing for the Lord is with me and people like you inspire me.
God bless you Pam. Your friend in Christ, Ian
14 years ago😮😮😮I just heard this hymn in a nursing home where I'm working. It touched my heart and now I came to replay it again oh lord be thou my vision 😢
I want Christ to be my vision, wisdom, word, and King as well.
Great news! He would love that as well
Me too!
Amen
Christ is your vision, wisdom,
above all Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lord.
You desire Christ therefore Christ is all to you desire already.
Amen x 7
He like God and heaven is a paradoxical within. If you wish to enter you must enter as a child (inner child/self)
If you understand these NOT SAY the words I mean live THEM. Then 1 day you'll understand ye are Gods which is another way of saying I and the father are 1.
For in every religion. God is referred to as an infinite being.
And even before Quonton physics everything becomes energy. Which means all is energy all is God
This is my prayer song.THANK you LORD. Amen.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I am a Black, West Indian man but there is something Scottish/Celtic about the music in this hymn that draws it to me, and will hopefully draw me to my Lord and Redeemer. (My great grandfather was a Scot)
If you are watching in or after Oct 2024 pls ❤, so I will be reminded to come and listen again . Thanks 🙏

2 Corinthisns 5 tells us that since He lived, died and rose we should no longer live for self but for Him.
This son touches me so much. It tears me every time when I listen to it. Praise Lord!

When I listened to this song I remembered how my marriage broke down n i sang this song over n over again. I never had a smart phone but I I remembered the lyrics at least some of it n I sang n felt comforted. All Glory to Him
I missed out on the word...I never had a smart phone
The third stanza where it says be thou my battle Shield was not in my hymnal. I am so glad to hear this verse for the first time. Lord You Are My Sword my dignity my delight my shelter and Hightower and power of my power.
The verse is based on St Paul's letter to the Ephesians CH. 6 where he writes about putting on the whole armour of God - the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit and the shoes of the gospel of peace.
Amen
I love this hymn. We've recently sung this in Korean in the church where I attend here in South Korea. I actually love singing in Korean despite it being my second language and requiring me to think so hard about what I'm singing, but regardless of language, this is a beautiful hymn, and one I love to sing.
me and my paul have many Korean freinds what came to our church.
Steve Howard I’m the same way - I’m more emotional when I sing or listen to songs in Chinese. It just hits a different part of my brain and seems more beautiful and deep sometimes.
yes its harder then thee original english these words comes from the ''King James Bible'' Though Represent diferent way like ''you'' or ''your'' and if you see the word THEE it means ''You'' I hope this will help you understand the old version of english that was from ''England'' God Bless !!!
Praise the only Lord and God Jesus praying for all koreans
I lived in Korea for a few years where I taught English at some Christian schools there. I loved singing in Korean. I miss Korea. I want to visit next year if I can. Hopefully, the COVID virus stays at bay.
Many comments are mentioning the often omitted third verse, but this wonderful has SIX verses, and most hymnbooks only have FOUR. What a blessing this is!!!
Love the Bodhran, Irish flute and other praise instruments as we march off to victory in Christ Jesus trusting He will be there for us in the midst of the battle heat......🔥☘💚His mercy and grace will follow us all the days of our lives and will be sufficient to see us through to the end which is actually our True Beginning
To think 10 years later we are still seeing this video !! And this song is well over a 1000 years old !!
Wow! Over 1000 years old!
“Wow” 1,000yrs old, really? Amazing!😮😲

My Grandma and i sing this at church. Every month we get to sing at church: my grandma plays guitar and i sing. Lord be with u all and have a great life! Bless You All!!!
The joy of fellowship.See how this song has brought us together in the name of JESUS? God bless us all.
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, and 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, fist 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 heav'ns Son.
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall;
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.
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.
Hallelujah, all praise be to God almighty. I heard this in my heart ❤ in middle of nite. Thank you Jesus, be thou my vision. In Jesus's mighty name. Amen 🙏
It's difficult for me to sing this song...I like it so much...that I usually go to tears...many times I have to just listen to the song...maybe one day..I will get to sing it without my throat constricting and weeping.
John I'm the same. Such a beautiful song. God bless you Brother
Same
Those tears bless God brother
It fills my soul and lifts me up❤
Beautiful daily prayer 🙏
Heard this song on a Hallmark Movie and had to hear it again. Tears in my eyes as I type.
I love everyone of the hymns,no matter how old,but Be my vision is one of my favorite. Thank God for all these beauties. Thank God for Utube. Blessings to all ❤
I cry everytime I hear this song, it was played at my granny's funeral 2 months ago.. Love you granny
Thank God for your granny. May you find healing and blessing in Jesus' name.
I cry when I hear it but from my own shortcomings, wasted time, missed opportunities and knowing by far the best yrs if my life are gone. It cuts me to the quick to know I have had such knowledge and conviction for over 35 yrs and havent been faithful in secret, all-important ways...and knowing how many of the things he had for me will never be.
Am going teach this to my young Bros. This is needed now as the cold of persecution is growing thick.
Beatiful hymn, I love this version with almost all the Irish instruments .From the heart, thank you!
I’ve never needed this song more than now. I’m in a hard situation and I’ve pleaded to god to show his mercy and forgive me. I repent of my sin and need him to intervene in my life.
HE will, and....DOES.
Brad.johnson23 may OUR god and Savoir bless you and keep you in his presence
God loves you...He forgives you...live the rest of your life...doing good..
I am up in the worst fight of my life in Hong Kong...This song came to me today..
He will
Eleana Wang stay strong sister!
I am seeking to memorize this amazing hymn
I have had always loved this hymn when I first heard it by 4HIMs more than a decade ago. The music so soothing and lyrics so beautiful, reminding us that we are GOD’s children.
I love this version not only because it's immensely beautiful and uplifting, but because it includes the oft-omitted third verse:
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, oh power of my power
This verse is especially important in our modern age, because the truth is we are at war, but "...we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12
Christ has already won the victory for us. Apart from Him we can do nothing, but "The things impossible with men are possible with God." -Luke 18:27
Amen and Amen!
I agree. I had a tough time even finding the lyrics that included this verse. I am preparing an ASL translation for a wedding. They have it as a second verse. Thank you for posting. God bless you.

I was going through the throws of splitting up with my friend..I couldn't sing during service..my vocal chords felt powerless and dry. Then quietly something stopped trying in me and I heard the band playing wonderfully and as i listened I started to try again and it's no exaggeration that I sang the 2nd half of Be Thou My Vision better than I've sung before in a church or with any karaoke mic! Praise God for showing his healing strength as always exactly at the right time.
I only first heard this a few weeks ago, and it immediately became my favourite song. Now I learn it's a very ancient song. There must have been untold brothers and sisters in Christ who also loved the same song in their time long ago.
Sing this without crying.. forgive us Father for we only find glory though the forgiveness of the heaven host of Jesus Christ himself. May all whom read this come to know you and have a personal relationship with you. Thank you my heavenly father for giving us your son to die for all of our transgressions. He loves you and only through blood of christ you are for given. God bless all of you who read this for now and into eternity
What a SPLENDID UPLIFTING HYMN . ITS heart not to SMILE WHEN I LISTEN TO THESE MALE VOICES IN UNISON, in a world where this is not always the case. THANKYOU XXXX
iam in tears every time i.I feel it covers our living in this world and life after death.Its just amazing.The one who wrote it must have felt God every moment of their life to write a song like this.Gog will touch lives through this song.I love it every tim i hear it.I never was touched by any song like this before
In this time of spiritual battle, Oh God! let You be our vision. To all christians all over the world who are in persecution, Be Thou their vision.🙏🙏🙏 #PrayinforSriLanka
Seeing this in 2022 from Sri Lanka. Thank you for your prayers. God bless you
Amen.
This is a powerful prayer. If this hymn is interpreted in the light of John Bunyan's, Pilgrim's progress, one would be tremendously blessed.
What a most perfect song of inspiration. I am so blessed just knowing I am a child of GOD.
This song was sung at my parents wedding. We had found the tape recording of the event, including the song. And just today, this was performed at our church. And again during the offering. I got to see my mom singing along softly with her eyes closed, clearly remembering her wedding and enjoying it
This is my mom's most favorite hymn. In fact, this hymn was played at my parents' wedding.
This hymn was played at our wedding also, 29 yrs ago. ICH
Jesus is the King of all kings....everything will be gone, but Jesus will come and reign forever...He is the Almighty
Riches I heed not
*Nor mans empty praise* !!!
Thine my inheritance now and always
*Thou and Thou only, first in my heart* !!!
High King of heaven
my Treasure Thou art
those lines in this beautiful verse that are in bold I feel God is highlighting them for me right now, especially being a 16 these are very important truths to know
AMEN. I loved the hymn even before I learned that verse. The church today surrenders SO much by skipping verses!!! And brothers and sisters -- MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE!
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Last night (February 24), I attended a Lent service at my sister church. We sang this as the Closing Hymn. It is #793 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
Absolutely beautiful song makes me cry with joy all praise and glory to our Lord God Almighty.
This is a very beautiful song. I just heard this song in the church. It makes me cry each time it is sung. God blesses the composer. Thank you
oh my God what a lovely song,pls my Heavenly Father light my way.
Ruth Rich you have a lovely Name! He is our Help.
This is my son Asher’s favorite hymn. Today is his 1st Year Memorial Day... Rest In Peace our precious darling Asher, with Jesus, Our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Host in Heaven. We will meet soon in the air when Jesus comes back for us!! How we long for this day, till then my darling boy.
Asher Isaac 15 December 1986 - March 17 2020. ✝️💙
I'm sorry for your loss may God give u heavens joy
@@jaygoesjim thank you, God bless you. Maranatha 🙏🏽
@@jaygoesjim God bless you. 🙏🏽
This was one of the hymns at our wedding blessing.
A very powerful worship song ♥️✝️

i just love this song it a prayer unto God, how could this song be old, such an onointing. Thank you Jesus
My favourite hymn .
Had this as my first hymn at my wedding
I'm not religious, but I remember this with fondness from my days in primary school. I've always loved it and this is a beautiful version of a hymn that never fails to stir the soul.
Jesus loves you bro and he's touching you
Listening to these Gospel songs give me the forever joy that money wealth or fame can never buy. It reinforces every moment of my life that God's love liveth in us. What can I say but to continue to appreciate God for founding me and reminding every moment of my life not to be afraid for He is with me and I am not alone. Please pray for me wherever you are as your heart directs you.The Eternal God will bless you all as you sing to glorify the Father whilst granting many souls peace. Amen
Such a beautiful prayer worthy of repeating Saint Patrick’s prayer every night.
This will be played at my sons wedding as they take communion next Saturday💕💕💕
I pray that God is always my vision. I now feel complete. How could one want anything more than letting God be there vision. So thankful for His teachings. Praise God
I just love this version of the hymn. I love it when I hear men singing like this.
Same here 👍🏾
I hear the voices of Faith lived before…like the March of what Truth is…happy Valentines Day..
From a child I've loved this great Christian hym of our time. This morning it came in my spirit and I looked it up. April 14.2022 God is still rhou my vision. May he be yours too and always 🙏 💕 .
it is so encouraging to read the comments at this time, although we may not be able to have fellowship with other Christians in church at this moment, I am reminded now that we are part of one body and one family in Christ, and many of my brothers and sisters everywhere around the world are praising Jesus right now
Praise The Lord!!!
We are just so blessed to have a heavenly Father whom we can depend on in all aspects of our lives.
Nothin like a bunch of men givin their souls in worship to our loving Father. I Thy true son, gives me tears every time I sing it out... er i mean dust in my eyes.... not that I cry or anything *wipes eyeballs*
My dear boss passed away last week aged 42 leaving behind her mother , brother , young daughter and brother. A kind soul and A great friend to many who touched many lives . May she Rest In Peace with our Lord and Saviour and all the angels and saints.
Amen. :(
The first time i know i heard this was in "A River Runs Through It" and it moved me as if it were own personal anthem from a life I can't remember. Couldn't wake to sing it any Sunday when we gathered as the church. Just the sound is enough to find heart in a pew anywhere in Ireland, no matter where the rest of me is.
I fell in love with this glorious hymn over 40 years ago, and love it still. He is my vision!
Love it!! Love the scenery
Days ago, I watched pilgrim’s progress and just noticed they were singing this song
Haha, yes! The scene wherein Christian is walking up the stairs had me in tears.
@@Contra.Mundum. Yeah👏!! I was around in 12th grade when I first listened to this song (now I graduated).
@@windywhistlesmlp2230 Oh, congratulations! May you use your gifts and talents for the greater glory of God.
@@Contra.Mundum. THANKS!!! 😍👍
This is my favourite hymn, and I'm so in love with this version of it.
We sang this in choir and I still hum it from time to time. This was during the 90s mind you when I was I private school but we all LOVED this song and it was in this arrangement too. This is definitely a song i don't mind getting stuck in my head.
This song is so so powerful I just can't help but listen ♥
Years of this being my favorite hymn and NOW it got even better all because the verse at 1:46!
first time i heard this i felt the Holy Spirit and cried
Wonderful
I absolutely L-O-V-E this version of this song, Be Thou My Vision, the lyrics, the arrangement, the music....WOW!.........beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! My praise song! Thank you guys!
This hymn is absolutely incredible and a amazing tribute to our Lord & saviour Jesus Christ KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS FOREVER SHALL HE REIGN.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. This is to all denominations: If Philippians 1:12-21 is your Scripture of the Day, this is a good hymn to compliment it. Another one is the beloved "Trust and Obey."
"Thou and Thou only first in my heart, High King of Heaven my treasure Thou art." Those words speak very loudly to me along with, "Still be my vision, O Ruler of all." I love this song and I love Jesus more than anything else. Thank you for posting this video and may God bless you all the days of your life.
This brings back good memories of my childhood when I sang this in church in the very first church I went to.
I'm moved and touched by this hyms. It's so beautiful and so spiritual.
Wow! I'm an old school hymn guy, this was an Awesome way to modernise the hymn so the younger generation can be blessed by the words!🙏❤
I Love this song. Thanks to the one who composed the lyrics and its tune. God bless everyonewho sings this song.
The old hymns are the best :) nothing better than singing about our lord and saviour Jesus Christ!!
Couldn't be more wonderful. Love the Lord Jesus Forever and Always💜
Searching for early hymns, I came across this one and was brought to tears as i sang the lyrics! Thank You to whomever has taken time to post it and bless me today!
