What's your Favorite Hymn?
If you are anything like me, that can be a tough question! There are so many hymns that contain wonderful doctrinal truths, and personally, I just like hymns!
But there is one hymn I love more than all the rest. It speaks so well the words in my heart. And it is...
Be Thou My Vision
In case some of you've never heard the hymn before, it's an Ancient Irish hymn, with a beautiful Irish tune, and here are the words-
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.
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 mine own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
So, what's your favorite hymn?
I would have to think a little longer on my favorite, but one of my favorite hymns is "Trust and Obey", because it to me sums up what my walk with Him is about. "Be Thou My Vision" is another of my favorites. Another hymn I really like that I discovered about a year ago has become another of my favorites, "Not What My Hands Have Done". This might be my favorite:).
