Be Thou My Vision

[@brambletbrats3184]

Was just reflecting on how peaceful and introspective these old hymns are. No emotional wrangling or beat that makes the flesh respond. It's more than just the depth of the words, the music, the tone, the metre, everything in these old hymns is truly worshipful - not the false worship of so many songs today.

[@leastoftheapostolicfaith4407]

I have come out of the musical instrument worship background. having been shown in history that musical instruments where added much later than the early church in worship and caused many uproars in the church, having experienced A cappella (no instruments) for the past year, and meditating on the subject, I must agree with your comments. It’s pure worship and how God intended it to be. Nothing for the flesh - no fancy beats, lifeless noises from instruments, no stage lights, or artificiality. There is so much, like you said, depth and spiritual food in these songs. I am so thankful that I get to worship God and sing with the instrument he approved and gave- my voice. God bless you with peace and grace.

Amen!

Amen. ❤❤❤❤

i absolutely agree! these songs are amazing and peaceful and truly help me connect with God. but i also think contemporary christian music is a righteous way to praise! make a joyful noise! and be that noise harmonious and beautifully simple, or upbeat and pop-y, both are loved by the lord :)

Excellent! Thank you for adding this great hymn. 3rd verse You have: Be Thou my battler, my sword for the fight; Should be: Be Thou my buckler, my sword for the fight; Buckler - a small, round shield held by a handle or worn on the forearm.

[@jackbailey9714]

It could just be a typo.

[@cccchan]

as my english isnt good, can anyone tell me what is the meaning of the lyrics?

[@karen4you]

+cccchan Sorry can't. Sort of a love song to God. One of my favorites. Hope someone can translate it for you someday.

[@tommenzie2458]

Thou = you Vision = goal or hope Lord = leader/ king Naught = nothing Thou art = you are Thee = you This song is a prayer to God. A prayer that he will be the leader of my life. I hope this helped. This is very old English, only hymns and the bible use, thee, thou, thou art, naught... What is your native language?

[@lautongkai5292]

+Tom Menzie art = are. I am Chinese and I was confused by the use of "art" here when I first heard this hymn. God bless

[@Crabtree1844]

What you have done is "service" in verity. God bless you for taking the time to help out where there is a need.

I'm so proud to be Mennonite. :)

[@tommenzie2458]

May I ask, what is a Mennonite?

[@littlehouseintherockies248]

Tech Support. Mennonites are not all forbidden to use the internet. You are thinking of Amish, which is not the same The Amish came from the Mennonites, and are not allowed to use electricity or drive cars.

[@jeremiahjangad5388]

Proud? God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble...

[@wms72]

This is a Catholic hymn, written by the holy martyr St.Dallan Forgail who died in A.D. 598. His Irish name was Eichaid mac Colla. He would not have known what Mennonites were.

I will pray for your praise ministry and the brethren gathered here, beloved Saint. Jesus sang praises with His disciples at His last supper before He was crucified. Matt. chapter 26:verses 26-30; Psalms 113-118. ***There is a Crown in Heaven awaiting all who faithfully share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a soul is saved. ( "THE GOSPEL SAVES" below) 1 Thessalonians chapter 2:verse 19-20; Philippians chapter 4:verse 1. So too be Rapture ready to meet Jesus Christ in the air. "Maranatha!" meaning "HE COMES". Mark chapter 13: verses 33-37. The Apostles and saints greeted one another that way! Proofs:John chapter 14: verse 1-3; Titus chapter 2:verses 11 -14; Rev.chapter 3:verse 10; 1 Thessalonians chapter 5:verse 9. This beautiful crown awaits us. 1 Peter chapter 5: verse 4; 2 Timothy chapter 4:verse 8. This praise resounds across the earth: "Jesus is Lord and only He saves". 2 Samuel chapter 22: Verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name." ***THE GOSPEL SAVES! God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark chapter 16: Verse 15: And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. How can anyone hear the "good" news? Romans chapter 10: verse 17 Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Isaiah chapter 7: verse 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew chapter 28: verse 6. Isaiah chapter 53: verse 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED John chapter 3: Verse 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans chapter 3: verse 23 " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John chapter 2: verse 2 Romans chapter 5:verse 8 But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians chapter 5:verse 21.

Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in His death and in the shedding of His blood as payment for our sins, as well as in His resurrection from the dead, and we will be saved!

TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John chapter 3: verse 16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death".
