To Jehovah always be all the glory. He is all we ever needed or shall need.
Lusada, Ogun, Nigeria
Since watching pilgrim progress, this song has not left my heart. I love hymns and this has touched me profoundly!
Austin, Texas, United States
What a rich and beautiful hymn!
Poulsbo, WA, United States
I sang the song in children's choir at of little Presbyterian Church in Bellingham Washington when I was about 8 years old and I still remember it and it still moves me deeply. I am now 65.
Bremerton, Washington, United States
I am very thankful for hymns! I am embarking on this journey of singing hymns with three of my kiddos. The sound doctrine and passion for God and His holiness has drawn me to this and many other songs! I love this one❤ Very encouraging as we recognize our need for a Savior and His constant indwelling in through the Holy Spirit.
DesMoines, Washington, United States
Each morning I ask the Holy Spirit to teach me. This morning, Like many times in my devotions, Be thou my vision comes into my mind and I start humming it, then I look up the words. I will never forget that day another song came into my heart, outside of surgery. I believe music is our best praise.
Nairobi, Kenya
Powerful song with powerful words
Liverpool, Merseyside, United Kingdom

Croydon, NSW, Australia
