Be Thou My Vision
Author: Mary E. Byrne; Eleanor Hull Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 159 hymnals Scripture: John 17:21 First Line: Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Lyrics: 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 soul’s shelter, and thou my high tower;
raise thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
3 Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise;
thou, mine inheritance, now and always;
thou and thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my treasure thou art.
4 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.

O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid, Jr., b.1923 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: John 17:21-23 First Line: O God of ev'ry nation Lyrics: 1 O God of ev'ry nation,
Of ev'ry race and land,
Redeem the whole creation
With your almighty hand.
Where hate and fear divide us
And bitter threats are hurled,
In love and mercy guide us
And heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
And scorn of truth and right,
From trust in bombs that shower
Destruction through the night,
From pride of race and station
And blindness to your way,
Deliver ev'ry nation,
Eternal God, we pray.
3 Lord, strengthen those who labor
That all may find release
From fear of rattling saber,
From dread of war's increase.
When hope and courage falter,
Lord, let your voice be heard;
With faith that none can alter,
Your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
Of days when war shall cease,
When hatred and division
Give way to love and peace,
Till dawns the morning glorious
When truth and justice reign,
And Christ shall rule victorious
O'er all the world's domain.

That all your Church might be forever one,
Help us at ev'ry Eucharist to say
With longing heart and soul, "Your will be done."
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
2 For all your Church O Lord, we intercede;
O make our lack of charity to cease.
Draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
By drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace.
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
3 We pray for those who wander from your fold;
O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep,
Back to the faith which saints believed of old,
Back to the Church which still that faith does keep.
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
May we be one with all your Church above,
One with your saints in one unbroken peace,
One with your saints in one unbounded love.
More blessed still, in peace and love to be
One with the Trinity in unity.
