Timeless Truths #1011 1 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. 2 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. 3 Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight; Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight; Thou my soul's Shelter, Thou my high Tow'r: Raise Thou me heav'nward, O Pow'r of my pow'r. 4 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. 5 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.
Beautifully done. I was delighted to hear them sing verse two. The most precious verse that people leave out. It is not the same song without it! Again, thank you. Very very nice.
I was honored to sing with, as well as student teach these kids. They truly were at a college-level of singing, I just helped them out with that crazy Bb, haha!
Thank you. You brought your God given talent to edify the church ( believers) and i am truly grateful. Again, I was delighted to hear the most beautiful verse that most groups leave out. Thank you.
This kind of exemplary simple but profound voicing is why so many contrariwise Bach performances are too large and thus heavy and ponderous. Of course divinely-inspired Bach's music pretty much utterly defies mere men's attempts to corrupt it, no matter what, typical for the divine, but it's so much simpler a beauty with only a few voices or players per part.
