[@robertpatterson6823]

One of the neat thing about being a Christian is we can stand in the presence of God because of what Christ did on the cross.

[@Imacuser223]

This hymn is my favorite. It came to me when I was at my lowest moment... not in church, but in a McDonald's of all places. I was struggling with self-doubt and the state of my salvation; I felt like I had blown it. But then, the instrumental of this hymn played over the PA as if to say "I'm here". This hymn has since become my prayer, expressing my desire for Jesus to be sovereign of my life; that I want His will first, not my own.

[@skyrim_indomniac3899]

Once saved; always saved. It is the free gift of God; the gift of his son Jesus. Some people say that accepting Christ as Lord and savior is the easiest part of the Christian Life. I find myself in a state of mild disagreement. I say "mild disagreement", and what I mean is simply that for some it may be the easiest moment of their christian walk; however for others it may actually the most difficult moment of their lives. Jacob wrestled with the Angle of the Lord ( God/Christ) and was blessed with a name given directly with the Lord. Sometimes it can be hard to know for a certainty that you are saved. In my case I have had times where I have doubted in my salvation, but then the Lord does a modern day miracle... he reminds me of all the times that he's helped me by answering my prayers. He answers us almost always through our Bibles, and when we aren't in them as often as ought to be; then of course we will be beset upon by the enemy. It is when doubt hits, when fear and anxiety merge into a maelstrom within, and when anger boils our blood as a solar flare might; that we need to fully focus on the Lord. Easier said than done most of the time. Christ tells us himself that there are times to "remove yourself into the wilderness.." ( paraphrased ). Meaning " Go off by yourself, and meet with me alone. Tell me your heart, and when you can't speak for yourself; then the Spirit will speak for you unto me. Learn of me, and what I demand of my children. Spend time only with me, and with all of your undivided attention on me. " I don't mean for this to sound like a mini-sermon; if it does then my apologies. I simply felt compelled by our mutual Lord and savior to share my thoughts. It's not easy most of the time, and when the devil rears his wicked head it's next to impossible. So I will pray for you, and I will pray specifically that God will lead you to verses that will help you with your doubts. At times when we question our faith and salvation; it is a good practice to take a inventory or take stock of our lives. What are we doing in our lives; that does and will affect it in some way? Are we doing out best to follow Christ, or are we going through the motions to save face and appearance? I struggle with those questions myself... " Am I doing enough for God, or am I serving in vain; because I'm not honest about things? Once again you will be in my prayers, and I hope that you will be led swiftly to the answers that your soul is seeking. I will pray that he helps with any areas of life where you're struggling. God bless you, and keep you from all harm!

[@Tocsin-Bang]

My favourite hymn of all time. When I was a boy at school I read the words to the school in assembly several times. I am now nearly 70 and it still brings tears to my eyes. I fact today I was telling my wife about your recording when we were in the car and I started crying again. Music truly has the power to move people. This is probably the finest version I have ever heard, thank you!

[@iosiftofan9143]

God bless you

[@heathsavage9459]

We sang this at my father's funeral in April of this year. It always fills me so with the Holy Spirit that I weep .

[@michelleoseguera9948]

I am 33 weeks pregnant with a baby boy, and just released from the hospital yesterday. We spent two days there because of preterm labor. Long story short, I am making a playlist of songs for baby to calm him, and I have added this beautiful version of "Be Thou my Vision." It is helping to calm my spirit, and although he isn't here yet, music helps him to stay calm in the womb. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!

[@WebbFamilyMusic]

+Michelle Oseguera congratulations on the beautiful addition to your family! Hope all goes well and bub makes his entrance in good time :) thank you for letting us be a part of your special journey.

[@jamesoromait4225]

I love this so much it just reminds me the joy of growing up in the village deep in Africa where the sun falls and there's no electricity everywhere! when you're a child darkness brings loads of fear, but this song brings God's presence near

[@elisabethmather5174]

I love the smiles on their faces while they’re playing. It truly shows the joy they get from playing and worshiping God!

[@protestant77]

Friday Sabbath Sunday Day 6. Day 7. Day 1. Muhammad says the 6th day is holy Jesus says the 7th day is holy Pope says the 1st day is holy 🤔Who's telling the truth??? ANSWER FOUND in: 👉(Genesis 2:2,3) 👉(Exodus 20:8-11) 👉(Isaiah 58:13)

[@alightened]

You just cannot beat the violin. It’s beautiful

[@susanhaddad950]

Your peacefulness and smiles while playing this beautiful song so well together says it all.

[@valenciaeauflorizdc.3237]

[@protestant7778]

JESUS says Sabbath is holy. POPE says Sunday is holy. 7th day Sabbath = (Exodus 20:8-11) 1st day Sunday = (Mark 7:7) 🤔WHO DO YOU OBEY???

[@user-me1sq5nv3d]

Спасибо вам большое!

[@megangilgen1019]

[@athenagod13]

i had a chance to play this song at church with my churchs orchersta and this is such a beautiful song to praise our lord and savior with and it reminds how god loves us through the tough times and through the good times

[@hernobleness]

Her smile makes this even better :) As if the song weren't beautiful enough, you can see the emotion on her face that makes it all seem so genuine

[@brugdealer]

This is absolutely my most favorite rendition of "Be Thou My Vision". I love how you can see the joy of the Lord in her smile! Please keep these videos coming. They bring rest to my soul when I think of my Savior and Lord! Beautiful!

[@evelynmariayeshua]

Wonderful .. to God be The Glory, great gifts He has given to His Body .... The Bride 💕👑💕🙏💕👑💕

[@roystewart663]

Once again I am overwelmed by this beautiful Praise and Worship song. Marvellously played. A real gem.

[@kevinmorgan8534]

It is not a praise and worship song! Those are insipid. This was an old Irish HYMN from back in the day when people gave God their best, not the shallow, bland trash you hear in fundamentalist churches today!

[@jamesstuartbrice420]

one of my favorite versions of this beautiful hymn! I found a good historical commentary of the origin and development of this hymn in the internet. It goes back to at least the 8th century, and the melody is a secular Irish tune.

[@Rayne572]

This girl is a special talent. I instantly cried when I heard her playing. I have been playing for 3 years and I aspire to be a beautiful musician like her. Simply beautiful, 100% perfection.

[@Rayne572]

Is she playing the viola? I tried to imitate her finger movements but I can’t. And I can’t find the sheet music for this :(

[@pamelaneveu5886]

So very beautiful and soothing. A wonderful hymn

[@aardvark1956]

So Beautiful! I just love this ancient hymn. Most People don't really realize how just much the Gospel Of Jesus Christ is part of Ireland's legacy and that is a priceless legacy.

Beautiful...thank you. My friend and I listen to this sometimes when we are camped high in the mountains with the Milky Way overhead silently passing the night with us.

[@Emper0rH0rde]

I've always been so moved by the melody and words to this powerful hymn that it's difficult for me to sing in church, because I get emotional. I learned just today that Saint Dallán, who wrote the words, wrote them as his eyesight was fading away. "Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart." My *vision.* I can't stop crying.

[@glendavis3257]

not anyone interested in Heaven these last days? Soon the warning will be upon us and you will then have a change of heart! God Bless you and yours!!

[@rock280258]

My mother of 93 passed away to the sound of this, her favourite hymn. The simplistic message of the hymn epitomised my mothers simple faith, a personal one between her and her maker. Through all the upheavals of her long life she never complained and always smile. But her faith was a personal one which we never were allowed to intrude on. When she passed and at her funeral this was sung, at that moment my harsh relationship with her softened, and I saw her for the very first time.

[@tarsissantos4066]

And here are the words to go with this sweet music. Be Thou My Vision Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, be all else but naught to me, save that thou art; be thou my best thought in the day and the night, both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light. Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word, be thou ever with me, and I with thee Lord; be thou my great Father, and I thy true son; be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one. 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 tower: O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise: be thou mine inheritance now and always; be thou and thou only the first in my heart; O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art. High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright sun, O grant me its joys after victory is won; great Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all.
