I’m sick of us, Patty and me, being sick: in danger of losing heart. Still, I thought it might be nice to post one more hymn before I conk out for the evening. But which one?
Be Thou My Vision, an ancient Irish hymn, 1,500 years old or so, still has power to move us to tears. Sung here by 4Him.
I think of it as a kind of prayer.
Talk about staying power, this ancient Irish hymn has it–some thirteen centuries worth. This is the hymn that was the first to come to me today: Be Thou My Vision, performed by 4Him. Lyrics are provided so you can sing along. If you can do it without choking up, you’re made of sterner stuff than I am. Set design by God the Father.
