*I struggle with my religion. (I am Jewish) but I feel like the lord has saved me and I can put my trust in him. All my Jewish friends think I'm crazy but I love the lord!!! He saved us! He forgave us! And for that I will forever be thankful!!*
There's a certain simple beauty and power to these old hymns that's so rare in contemporary worship, isn't there? I'm not much older than you, and I'm obsessed with them!
I’m almost 64 years old I’ve been to allot of concerts & listened to allot of bands, Until I met Jesus and started listening to Gospel I’d Never seen people sing with the Love people show towards Our Father✝️ in Heaven. All those wasted years not realizing He✝️was right here waiting❣️
I am 57 years old. I know what Pit the blood of Jesus save me from. I never look back,go forward fight the good fight. Praise God Almighty we will make it.
*And on that day when we join the resurrection We’ll stand beside the heroes of the faith With one voice, a thousand generations will sing “Worthy is the lamb who was slain. Forever He shall reign!"*
I couldn't agree more. Sometimes I'm not sure if the song was written about the LORD or someone's girlfriend/boyfriend. HE is and always should be our only focus in worship.
I agree about shallow, repetitive, man-centered "worship" efforts. This hymn was played at my wedding 44 years ago. Same beautiful lady all these years, The Colonel's Daughter.
More than sixty years ago my teacher, Mr Smythe, wanted to include this beautiful hymn in school assembly. Nobody wanted to sing a solo. He knew I had a good reading voice, and asked me to read the words. They have been with me ever since. When I visited my daughter's church in the UK, before COVID-19 struck, the musicians played and sang the hymn beautifully. At the end one of the leaders came and sat next to me and asked, "Why are you crying Steve?" I told him how much the words meant to me, they are a gospel in miniature, and then he asked me to tell the whole church. I can't help but cry every time I hear the hymn. Jesus is everything to those who believe on His name.
Stephen, I consider this to be my soul's hymn; ever since I first heard it so many years ago and through many a dark night of the soul this hymn has been there to remind me that Christ alone is my vision...no matter what befalls me this side of Heaven. I too weep my guts out every time I hear it. Sometimes I can barely sing along.
May God...the true creator...bring the floods again...BUT....instead of floods of judgement....bring floods of great and mighty MERCY....I genuinely hope for this... I'm not a good Christian....but I'm not a fool....I know I need God....I hope against hope
@@gc-vz4ibThank you for sharing your heart. I thought only women like me cry when singing/worshipping our Lord God, Creator of All. All praise be to Him now and forever, Amen.
@@margaretclarke3643While this version of the hymn isn't my absolute favorite, Steph and his crew do an awesome job. Check out Audrey Assad's version here on TH-cam.
im 14 and i love hymns, especially if it's celtic, idk why i just feel more joy with celtic! now i want to love God and reading the bible. please pray for me! God bless you all!
God bless you also! Stay close to the Lord and He will stay close to you. So good that you found Him at 14. In this world that is getting darker each day, we all need to remain steadfast in our faith. Love and blessings.
@@Linds2476 absolutely you may ask. It is in reference to God centered worship, not man centered. Many of the new worship songs are very man centered...just count the number of personal pronouns being used. Worship music should be just that...worship. To sing His praises and our desire to be focused only on Him.
@@Linds2476 they mean "Biblically sound" in a way that the song is Biblically accurate or true to His Word, not as in sounds heard by ear. Hope this helps😊
I grew up singing hymns, but didn't care for any of it. Now at 24, the Lord has drastically opened my heart to him and I cry listening to hymns. The Lord draws souls to him and his grace is so unbelievable you can't help but long for him.
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, and I Thy true son Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power 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 Heaven’s Sun Heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all
I read your comment with tears in my eyes. No words can describe the sadness of your loss and the joy in Christ your soul must have felt. May God continue to bless you by sharing His greatness to all you meet!
It's difficult to express just how much my heart yearns to be in the company of believers like these who worship God in spirit and in truth. I am an American living on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica near to the town of Jaco which is an international sex tourism destination, and as you can imagine, it is very oppressed with heavy forces of darkness and as one might expect, a strong spirit of lust and sexual perversion. There is a bordello right across the street from where I live, and every day and night I hear the music played as people unwittingly give themselves over to Satan. God has called me to stand against the rulers, principalities, and wickedness in high places of this region as a Tier 1 Special Operations Warrior in His Last Days Army, and every day I engage the enemy head-on. I pray God sends other strong warriors to stand with me.
Stormrider , I trust & I’m praying our Lord God gives you His Supernatural Strength & discernment to you as you stand for Him & do His will. Thank you for your caring heart, your faith, & obedience. Psalm 46:11, Psalm 121, 1 Corinthians 2:9 🙏🏻
@@mimilou55 Thank you so much for your encouragement sister. It really does come down to simple obedience, and I know that as I truly do seek _first_ the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, all these things - His supernatural strength, His discernment - will indeed be added to me. Glory to God in the highest.
Beautiful Irish hymn, very old, first written in Irish Gaelic of course. I love listening to it in Irish, English, and Spanish as a citizen of Mexico, the Republic of Ireland, and the USA.
It is a wonderful thing to be a Christian. Since I was 15 I’ve committed my heart to the Lord. I did grow up in a Christian home. God has blessed me with a wonderful husband and two children.
Thanking you for such a thoughtful and reflective beautiful song! I listen to this song almost everyday on my drive to my classroom in the Bronx.... when I hear this song I am reminded despite my numerous failings and unworthiness, My Father in heaven still loves me. It reminds me that we ought not to walk in the flesh, materials and trappings of this world but by the spirit and word of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ... Thank You Thank You!!
Ich bin auf der Suche nach Gott alle möglichen mystischen und "sprituellen" Wege gegangen, die mich immer weiter von Gott entfernt hatten. Aber seit ich die Gnade der Bekehrung erlebt habe, liebe ich dieses Lied über alles. Er soll meine Vision sein! Er, mein Gott! Ich liebe es, euch das singen und spielen zu hören 1Chr 15, 16.💝
My grandma passed away a year and a half ago of lung cancer and I remember singing this song in church with her. She was Irish and would have loved this version. Thanks for the memories.
It was originally an Irish song, written in Irish Gaelic. Iona recorded a version of this song in 1996, in Gaelic (helped by Moire Brennan [from Clannad], whose grandfather had translated the hymn back into Irish).
I cannot express how elated I am to have discovered that there is a group called “Celtic Worship”. Combining 2 of my favorite things - Jesus and my Celtic heritage? I can’t believe this exists and I didn’t find it before now. But it came at the perfect time because I cried out to Jesus and he brought me here. The voices, the musicality, the genuine presence of the Spirit in these videos - I am floored beyond words and so so grateful. I have never liked this particular song, and here you’ve made it stunningly gorgeous. What a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for doing what you do! Love from Mass, US
I am almost 76. Have attended many churches over the years. I am an Anglican but have Irish ancestry with my forebears originating from Moyne Tipperary. I just adore this hymn and requested it be sung at both my daughter’s and my mother’s funeral service. In advance, I am requesting it be sung at my funeral. It is such a powerful hymn and brings out the emotion in me every time I hear it. This is a beautiful rendition of Be Thou My Vision. Thank you and God bless.
This hymn, as old as it it, continues to inspire us to honour God and to put him first in our lives. No religion or denomination can claim the truths contained within the verses of this great hymn, it is free to all men. To God be the glory.
This song has blessed me over the years that I hv been a believer in Christ Jesus my Saviour n Lord. Thanks Celtic Worship for getting me through a rough patch in my life. 2020-21
This is one of the favorite Hymns sung at St. Columbia Presbyterian Church Cape Breton Nova Scotia. Most of our family roots go back to the Hebrides & the Hymn strikes a chord in the Souls of our Celtic roots today. This was beautifully done & greatly appreciated by me.
Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart Nought be all else to me, save that Thy art Thou my best thought in the day and the night Waking or sleeping, Thou presence my light Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true word I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord Thou my great Father and I Thy true son Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight Be Thou my armor and be Thou my might Thou my soul shelter, and Thy my high tower Raise Thou me heavenwards, oh power of my power Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise Thou mine inheritance through all of my days Thou and Thou only though first in my heart High king of heaven my treasure Thou art Oh high king of heaven, when battle is done Grant heaven's joy to me, bright heaven sun Christ of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my vision, though ruler of all Da, da, da, da, da
Thanks for letting us step back in time to a time when our lyrics in worship were deep cries of a heart hungry for the vision of eternity to guide me to walk through this day. Thanks so much!!! I miss this.
The Lord is faithful!! Im going through such a hard time healthwise and prayed for him to help me with my energy and motivation. The next day I found you guys in recommended videos. Your music is elating and helps me fix my mind on the eternal instead of my physical woes. Thank you!
Tim McGee, - just because you think God is imaginary doesn’t mean that He is. Ask Him if He’s real to show you; He will!! Your Spirit-man will come alive. He Loves you, He created you. I pray you get to know Him through His Son, Jesus Christ who paid our sin debt that we will live with Him forever... He is the Way, the Truth, the LIFE
Father God, thank you for redeeming me by sending your Son Jesus to die for my sins and rise again. I pray for the body of Christ, my brothers and sisters across the world. Fill them with your peace. In Jesus name. Amen
His great Holy Spirit flowing in, out, and through us brothers and sisters, a beautiful thing. Oh, I can’t wait to sing around His great throne in harmony with you all.
Isn't it awesome how our Lord gave us music? In His grand design he created our body and mind. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. And some of us he gifted with the ability to create music. Imagine what the music will sound like in the new heaven and earth.
One of the few Pre-Schism hymns that has survived in the West. As an Evangelical convert to Eastern Orthodoxy, I cherish my Irish heritage every time I hear this
How beautiful, and how uplifting to see all of you, met in harmony and singing of grace. Such harmony of sound and spirit between you! So many thanks for this gorgeous version of a joyous hymn. Peace and love from Canada.
High King of heaven, our treasure thou art. As God said to Abram (Genesis 15:1): "I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." Thank you for this beautiful version of this great hymn of the faith.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND MOVING rendition of this spiritual song. This moves me TO MY SOUL. Praise the lord and GOD BLESS YOU to these musicians and people all around the world. From Tennessee, USA.
I'm touched by your singing of this precious song... it's more than just a song, it is inspired !! Thank you for doing such a very fine job !! God bless you all !
I love your true worship. God bless you for your passion for our saviour Jesus. He deserves all thanks and praise. Keep the passion for Christ burning strong.
Can you even imagine what heaven will be like? Lifetimes of the redeemed men and women offering talents upon talents directly at the feet of Jesus! No sin, no corruption, no ulterior motives.... all of that stuff gone.... just the redeemed and the Redeemer face to face for an eternity of worship! Drums, flutes, bagpipes, singers.... all of us raising that song in perfection. I can't wait. I don't fear death in the least. I have a job to do for Him here and now, but He is my vision, my hope, my goal. I will be with Him soon, by His grace alone.
@Justice Boofer Only if you consider the concepts of "God, Honour, & Country" misguided, you 'MISGUIDED BOOFER!"!...Add to those the facts national prosperity, impressive decreased joblessness, the international strength of the U.S. dollar, the blocking of "Pelosian/Sanders-type" idiots (and their like), effectively 'balls-checking' on North Korea, China, and Iran (of course, winning on all fronts there), (Founding Fathers) Constitutional support and defense of the Constitution w/Bill of Rights (ESPECIALLY The 2nd Amendment which ensures and protects all the rest!) and a dedicated start to stopping illegal immigration into the Homeland and you end up with everything BUT 'misguided'!!!!!! If you feel thus opposed, then feel free to depart elsewhere and congregate with "all those others" in dissidence with the United States of America ...but MOST CERTAINLY elsewhere nonetheless, that you be not offended by American Patriotism and 'We, the People'... cease to suffer your (and others of the current like 'anti'-sentimental) drivel.......Take Polosi, Hillary, Sanders and the rest of their sycophantic 'toadies' with you when you go....Bye, Bye now!...
That low whistle is such a beautiful instrument, I've had recorder flute lessons for 10 years, which is a while back now, but I wanted to play music again but something new. Well, I bought myself a tin whistle and I want to learn how to play these kinds of songs. And then find more people to play together with. If I can teach myself the basics, I eventually plan to upgrade my cheap high whistle for a more expensive low whistle. I can't sing, but that'll be my way of praising God's name. Blessings from The Netherlands. Your music is wonderful, Hallelujah.
All Christianity should return to the One true faith, given to us by Christ thru his Holy Roman Catholic Church guided and taught by the Holy Spirit, thru the succession of the Apostles, Saints and the Love of the Mother of our Saviour Jesus Christ, our Blessed Mother One Holy Catholic Apostlic Church May the Holy Spirit unite us in Worship and Adoration
Another of my favorite hymns!!! So beautiful in this Celtic version!! I love the Celtic lilt!! I give ti such a sweet sound!! Very old and very firm in God!!! Thank you so very much!!! It has lifted my heart to hear it!!!! May God have the Glory
Love this song, I asked my pastor if we could sing this on Sunday and he said that the songs were already chosen to go along with the sermon, However, God has a sense of humor as we are singing Be Thou My Vision this morning.
I agree with you Mack. I am absolutely bowled over, totally amazed by our Lord God ALMIGHTY! The more I know Him the more I love Him; and those who love Him! All glory be to God!
Hallelujah!! Psalms 7:14-17 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, after 5 years of family court and in the Lords perfect timing. Thank you heavenly Father

Grant heaven's joy to me, bright heaven sun
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, though ruler of all
Da, da, da, da, da
Love that!
My favorite song. This is my song. Every word expresses perfectly my heart. I cannot wait, but I will, for Heaven!
Thanks for writing down the words for all of us. Praise God for Jesus.
Thanks for letting us step back in time to a time when our lyrics in worship were deep cries of a heart hungry for the vision of eternity to guide me to walk through this day. Thanks so much!!! I miss this.
Awesome stuff. So glad you are bringing out more Christ centred music. Praise God !!
Amen
The Lord is faithful!! Im going through such a hard time healthwise and prayed for him to help me with my energy and motivation. The next day I found you guys in recommended videos. Your music is elating and helps me fix my mind on the eternal instead of my physical woes. Thank you!
Such a theologically rich song. Seeking and savoring Jesus as first in my heart. Thanks for the song and Merry Christmas from Canada.
Ironic that you should consider this "theologically rich" when Christianity is so poor, what with god being imaginary and all...
1 Corinthians 1:18
Tim McGee, - just because you think God is imaginary doesn’t mean that He is. Ask Him if He’s real to show you; He will!! Your Spirit-man will come alive. He Loves you, He created you. I pray you get to know Him through His Son, Jesus Christ who paid our sin debt that we will live with Him forever... He is the Way, the Truth, the LIFE
Praise Nodens !!

Very kind words Miriam, however God loves his people not his enemies. And Tim is clearly his enemy whether he believes in him or not.
This is my favorite version! I’m really struggling and your passion warmed my heart. ❤
Father God, thank you for redeeming me by sending your Son Jesus to die for my sins and rise again. I pray for the body of Christ, my brothers and sisters across the world. Fill them with your peace. In Jesus name. Amen
This is a beautiful Catholic hymn. It means so much to me. Forever my fathers humble servant and his loving son. True and faithful!
His great Holy Spirit flowing in, out, and through us brothers and sisters, a beautiful thing. Oh, I can’t wait to sing around His great throne in harmony with you all.
Jesus is worthy of our praise
Yes, absolutely!
Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
My favorite hymn. I am sure my Celtic ancestors sang it too!
I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome Christain Hymn video with me .
Absolutely magnificent 👌 🙏❤️👑🙏
I loved this hymn the first time i heard it..always have always will
Superb example of true musicianship on everyone's part here 👏
Lovely rendition May you continue to sing for our Jesus
Just incredibly rich theological truths calling out through a heart of worship. Grateful to have found this channel! :-)
Isn't it awesome how our Lord gave us music? In His grand design he created our body and mind. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. And some of us he gifted with the ability to create music. Imagine what the music will sound like in the new heaven and earth.
You glorify the Lord with your beautiful music. Thank you and God bless.🙏
One of the few Pre-Schism hymns that has survived in the West. As an Evangelical convert to Eastern Orthodoxy, I cherish my Irish heritage every time I hear this
Thank you! You touch all God's children with your praises to Him! Keep singing, keep praising!
high king of heaven my treasure thou art....Lord Jesus you are everything, all else is distraction.
How beautiful, and how uplifting to see all of you, met in harmony and singing of grace. Such harmony of sound and spirit between you! So many thanks for this gorgeous version of a joyous hymn.
Peace and love from Canada.
Thanks to Steph and all Celtic Worship member, you guys are gifted, God bless you all, especially you Steph, you are such an inspiration!
Love this, total devoted in praise to our Lord. Love this version of my favourite hymn 💙
Well done by all, especially the drummer who kept the beat going at just the right volume.
These are some of the greatest. Really speak to the soul. Tears come.
I am thankful to be able to hear the hymns that truly extol the power, the character of our Lord.
High King of heaven, our treasure thou art. As God said to Abram (Genesis 15:1): "I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." Thank you for this beautiful version of this great hymn of the faith.
This is my favorite hymn! I sing it all the time at work.
This is one of my favorite hymns. The history behind this song is interesting as well. Thank you Macleod clan. May the true quickening proceed!
YOU are Still Blessing ! What I Needed NOW !!! Thank You JESUS !!!
I sometimes put this song on a loop and listen for a while. Very calming and encouraging!
B E A U T I F U L !!!!!
This is my favorite hymn. It has gotten me through many hard times
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND MOVING rendition of this spiritual song. This moves me TO MY SOUL. Praise the lord and GOD BLESS YOU to these musicians and people all around the world. From Tennessee, USA.
I'm touched by your singing of this precious song... it's more than just a song, it is inspired !! Thank you for doing such a very fine job !! God bless you all !
Thanks for this beautifull mix of music and religion, so beautiful, to feel the 'one-ness' and harmony you create together...
So need this during this seemingly dark time... Thank you. Brings tears to my eyes!
heart of my own heart - whatever befall - still be my vision, o ruler of all!
What a timely reminder the message of this song brings! Thank you from Georgia, USA.
I love your true worship. God bless you for your passion for our saviour Jesus. He deserves all thanks and praise. Keep the passion for Christ burning strong.
This is my favorite hymn, thank you for sharing your lovely version. What a blessing!
Can you even imagine what heaven will be like? Lifetimes of the redeemed men and women offering talents upon talents directly at the feet of Jesus! No sin, no corruption, no ulterior motives.... all of that stuff gone.... just the redeemed and the Redeemer face to face for an eternity of worship! Drums, flutes, bagpipes, singers.... all of us raising that song in perfection.
I can't wait. I don't fear death in the least. I have a job to do for Him here and now, but He is my vision, my hope, my goal. I will be with Him soon, by His grace alone.
Beautiful ❤❤ God Almighty has blessed me and my family with so much grace recently. Praise Lord 🙏🙏🙏🎶🎶🎶🙏🙏🙏
So so good. I love the return back to Christ centered worship. He should always be the focus.
With all that is happening in the world today, this is what I needed
@Justice Boofer Only if you consider the concepts of "God, Honour, & Country" misguided, you 'MISGUIDED BOOFER!"!...Add to those the facts national prosperity, impressive decreased joblessness, the international strength of the U.S. dollar, the blocking of "Pelosian/Sanders-type" idiots (and their like), effectively 'balls-checking' on North Korea, China, and Iran (of course, winning on all fronts there), (Founding Fathers) Constitutional support and defense of the Constitution w/Bill of Rights (ESPECIALLY The 2nd Amendment which ensures and protects all the rest!) and a dedicated start to stopping illegal immigration into the Homeland and you end up with everything BUT 'misguided'!!!!!! If you feel thus opposed, then feel free to depart elsewhere and congregate with "all those others" in dissidence with the United States of America ...but MOST CERTAINLY elsewhere nonetheless, that you be not offended by American Patriotism and 'We, the People'... cease to suffer your (and others of the current like 'anti'-sentimental) drivel.......Take Polosi, Hillary, Sanders and the rest of their sycophantic 'toadies' with you when you go....Bye, Bye now!...
This is my favorite hymn of all time. Thank you
That low whistle is such a beautiful instrument, I've had recorder flute lessons for 10 years, which is a while back now, but I wanted to play music again but something new. Well, I bought myself a tin whistle and I want to learn how to play these kinds of songs. And then find more people to play together with. If I can teach myself the basics, I eventually plan to upgrade my cheap high whistle for a more expensive low whistle. I can't sing, but that'll be my way of praising God's name. Blessings from The Netherlands. Your music is wonderful, Hallelujah.
Do you know if the low whistle is in the key of D?
Simple, beautiful, a precious gift!
All Christianity should return to the One true faith, given to us by Christ thru his Holy Roman Catholic Church guided and taught by the Holy Spirit, thru the succession of the Apostles, Saints and the Love of the Mother of our Saviour Jesus Christ, our Blessed Mother
One Holy Catholic Apostlic Church
May the Holy Spirit unite us in Worship and Adoration
Beautiful! Thank you very much. Happy New Year 2024!
Another of my favorite hymns!!! So beautiful in this Celtic version!! I love the Celtic lilt!! I give ti such a sweet sound!! Very old and very firm in God!!! Thank you so very much!!! It has lifted my heart to hear it!!!! May God have the Glory
Love this song, I asked my pastor if we could sing this on Sunday and he said that the songs were already chosen to go along with the sermon, However, God has a sense of humor as we are singing Be Thou My Vision this morning.
Putting Jesus First 😁☺️☺️☺️😊😇
I agree with you Mack. I am absolutely bowled over, totally amazed by our Lord God ALMIGHTY! The more I know Him the more I love Him; and those who love Him!
All glory be to God!
This is amazing, what a great group of musicians worshipping.
Hallelujah!!
Psalms 7:14-17 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, after 5 years of family court and in the Lords perfect timing.
Thank you heavenly Father
What a rich and beautiful job on this great old hymn. WONDERFUL performance, folks!!!
agreed, friend superb job 💯
