Viewing lyrics for Be Thou My Vision by Tom N Tierney.

I recorded this on the 'spur of the moment' back when I was recording my first CD, Off The Beaten Path. I had my 12-string tuned to DADGAD (a popular tuing in Europe) and as usual was improvising and playing around with some riffs, and decided to go for it. A bit raw and probably could do a better job of the guitar playing... but, what the hey! (Maybe one day I'll re-do it (:

Be Thou My Vision
Vocals and 12-string guitar (DADGAD): T. Tierney

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.

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.
