Carlisle, Pennsylvania, United States
Yes Lord, be thou my vision
Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom
My favourite hymn of all time, reminds me to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus whatever comes my way- breakthroughs or challenges. "Heart of my own heart, whatever befall. Still be my vision, O Ruler of all".
Albuquerque, NM, United States
I love this. So humble a hymn.
The Villiages, FL, United States
For over a month now, this tune has been in my head. I knew that I knew it, but couldn’t remember. At 70, there are a lot things that slip my mind. And although I was near constantly humming it, all that would come to mind was “Save that thou art”. So finally I searched it and happy I did.
Haverhill, NH, United States
this is my top song of all time. it brings peace and hope.
Harlingen, Texas, United States
I’ve had this song in my mind lately. The words are so precious.
It is a strengthening song!
UW
Love this song
Minneapolis, MN, United States
I love this song. I wept as I sang it this past St. Patrick’s day as I was reminded of my Irish heritage. Praise the Lord we are all One in Him!
This is missing:
Be Thou my Breastplate, my Sword for the fight;
be Thou my whole Armor, be Thou my true Might;
be Thou my soul’s Shelter, be Thou my strong Tow’r,
O raise Thou me heav’nward, great Pow’r of my pow’r.
Port Moresby, National Capital District, Papua New Guinea
My favourite. "Thou and thou only, first in my heart " God is all in all. He knows all and encouraging song to build Father-Son relationship with God.
