Be Thou My Vision feat. Christy Nockels - Jake Weidmann
In the heart of Ireland near the 6th century, ""Be Thou My Vision,"" was written as a Lorica, a prayer of protection. The poet, Dallán Forgaill, was blind. His poem was later sung to the tune of ""Slane,” named after the Hill where St. Patrick let his light shine for Christ.
Over a thousand years after ‘Be Thou My Vision,’ was written the global Church continues to join in the refrain, “Heart of my own heart whatever befall // Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
Musical artists, Christy and Nathan Nockels, collaborate with visual artist and Master Penman, Jake Weidmann to usher in a beloved hymn of old for a new generation so that it might live on in the body of Christ.

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!
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 Son!
Heart of my own heart
Whatever befall,
Still be my vision,
O Ruler of all!
Oh bright heaven son
Be my vision
Oh heart of my own heart
Be my vision
Oh heart of my own heart
Still be my vision
Be Thou My Vision
