    "Be Thou My Vision" is my favorite hymn. It's so tender and intimate to sing it...such a lovely way to express love and devotion to our Lord.

    Happy New Year 2024.
    Thank you for sharing the story behind the hymn " Be Thou My Vision ". The story is not only encouraging but also highly motivational and appreciative of the courage shown by St. Patrick, who later on became a devout believer in Christ.
    One of my favourite hymns to start the schooling year or to start a new session.
    What a transformation of Father Patrick !!

    You left out a crucial part of the story; he didn't go from three dreams directly to Ireland with nothing but a Bible. He went to seminary, became a priest, continued studying and was made a bishop before going to Ireland. This was YEARS later!

      The bible warned us not to pray to dead saints .they can't hear us. Because they are not omnipresence like Almighty God ..qe can follow their faith and life style .but pray to Lord Jesus. He is the one who died for our sins. Holy Spirit will intercede with us for us ..speaking to dead is abomination to God ..even after Moses death God given another leader for Israeli children ..no one councell with moses after his death.

    @glasgowbrian1469 Год назад +4

    May I please add some info about the tune. There is a medieval song called Slane, about the Hill of Slane in Ireland, and the tune is labelled “Slane” in hymn books. It’s also possible that the later folk song “The Banks of the Bann” might have been the source of the tune - folk tunes have many lives using the same tune. Collecting folk song tunes for church hymns was common, and the 1906 English Hymnal uses this tune. The classical composer Vaughn Williams was one of the editors, and also collected folk songs which were inspirations for some of his compositions.
