"Be Thou My Vision" - Southwestern Seminary Virtual Choir

A message from Adam W. Greenway, President: “In this era of social distancing and sheltering in place when we are not able to gather together as the people of God for corporate worship, the School of Church Music and Worship at Southwestern Seminary and Scarborough College - students and faculty from across our city and literally from around the world - have gathered together digitally to bring to you a virtual choir arrangement of the great hymn, “Be Thou My Vision.” I hope you will enjoy this gift from your friends at Southwestern Seminary’s School of Church Music and Worship as an expression of confidence that our great God, our High King of Heaven, is indeed the ruler of all.”

LYRICS
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord.
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son,
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always;
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'n's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whate'er befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
