Be Thou My Vision - Song Lyrics with Orchestral backing music. LYRICS: Be Thou My Vision Lyrics: Dallan Forgaill Scripture:Ephesians 1:17-23; Colossians 3:11 Meter: 10.10.10.10 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, 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 Tow'r: Raise Thou me heav'nward, O Pow'r of my pow'r. 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, my victory won, May I reach Heaven's joys, O bright Heav'n's Sun! Heart of my own heart, whate'er befall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all. FOR SINGERS: where possible, these recordings are mostly formatted as follows: Centre: Soprano (violin/piccolo/flute/cello), Bass (Acoustic Bass/Contrabass) Right 100% Alto (clarinet), Left 100% Tenor (oboe/tuba/trombone) The lyrics display is formatted like the sort of projection you might see in a church, thus I hope, making them useful in a worship setting, perhaps also for choir practice as most of the arrangements are based on the SATB model.
