I can never hear this song without copious tears pouring down my face! The original version was written in around 800 AD. It could never be more true to our lives today. When I die , and someone says : "Who was he?", I want it said this song was me!
Yonkers, New York, United States
This hymn is the source of my comfort in my daily life. Jehovah God graciously bless the composer and the one who played the keyboard in Jesus name. Amen.
Pyeongtaek (currently), Geonggi-do, South Korea
I was amazed this was under new songs. Actually this is one the oldest Christian Hymns we have, originally in Gaelic from at the 8th century. I love the other verses, especially Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight. God Himself is on outside, our most effective protection and weapon in this spiritual fight.
Shreveport, LA, United States
Lord, nothing else but the great person Who You are is my controlling vision. I live to You.

Love the song, but I'm used to singing "High King of Heaven" rather than "O King of Glory"
Cape Town, South Africa
Such an amazing hymn, but I have to say that your version just doesn't sound quite right.
Lagos, Surulere, Nigeria
I love this song.
Houston, Texas, United States
Whatever befall, Lord, be Thou our vision!
Love this song!
Red Deer, Alta, Canada
This song has come when I am discouraged or on top of a mountian. The words have great meaning and encouragement.
