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; thine own may I be,
Thou in me dwelling and I one with thee.
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 heav’n’s sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

1 Oh, Dios de mi alma, sé tú mi visión;
nada te aparte de mi corazón.
Noche y día pienso yo en ti,
y tu presencia es luz para mí.
2 Sabiduría sé tú de mi ser,
quiero a tu lado mi senda correr;
como tu *hijo tenme, Señor,
siempre morando en un mismo amor.
3 Riquezas vanas no anhelo, Señor,
ni el hueco halago de la adulación;
tú eres mi herencia, tú mi porción,
Rey de los cielos, tesoro mejor.
4 Oh, Dios de gloria, de triunfo al final,
déjame el gozo del cielo alcanzar;
alma de mi alma, Dueño y Señor,
en vida y muerte sé tú mi visión.

your holy word the truth redeeming me.
Give me to eat and live with you above;
teach me to love your truth, for you are love.

touch now my blinded eyes and make me see:
then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall,
and I shall find my peace, my all in all.

1 Rompsnous le pain de vie! Que ta bonté,
Seigneur, nous rassasie de vérité!
Amour qui nous fait vivre, révèle-toi!
Parle dans le saint livre à notre foi!
2 O toi, don't la clémence créa du pain
pour une foule immense mourant de faim,
vois, ton peuple se presse autour de toi:
secours notre détresse et notre foi!
3 C'est toi, le pain de vie, Verbe puissant!
C'est de ta chair meurtrie, c'est de ton sang,
que notre âme doit vivre. Ah! donne-toi
par l'Esprit et le livre à notre foi!
4 Tu bénis tes apôtres, puis, à leur tour,
ils portèrent à d'autres ton grand amour…
Ô parole féconde, que notre foi
t'offre à ce pauvre monde qui meurt sans toi! Topics: Communion; Holy Spirit Illuminator / Teacher; Jesus Christ Word; Languages other than English French; Peace; The Bible; Truth Used With Tune: LATHBURY

John L. Bell
b. 1949 Person Name: John L. Bell, b. 1949 Scripture: John 17:26 Author of "Will you come and follow me (The Summons)" in Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New John Bell (b. 1949) was born in the Scottish town of Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, intending to be a music teacher when he felt the call to the ministry. But in frustration with his classes, he did volunteer work in a deprived neighborhood in London for a time and also served for two years as an associate pastor at the English Reformed Church in Amsterdam. After graduating he worked for five years as a youth pastor for the Church of Scotland, serving a large region that included about 500 churches. He then took a similar position with the Iona Community, and with his colleague Graham Maule, began to broaden the youth ministry to focus on renewal of the church’s worship. His approach soon turned to composing songs within the identifiable traditions of hymnody that began to address concerns missing from the current Scottish hymnal:
"I discovered that seldom did our hymns represent the plight of poor people to God. There was nothing that dealt with unemployment, nothing that dealt with living in a multicultural society and feeling disenfranchised. There was nothing about child abuse…,that reflected concern for the developing world, nothing that helped see ourselves as brothers and sisters to those who are suffering from poverty or persecution." [from an interview in Reformed Worship (March 1993)]
That concern not only led to writing many songs, but increasingly to introducing them internationally in many conferences, while also gathering songs from around the world. He was convener for the fourth edition of the Church of Scotland’s Church Hymnary (2005), a very different collection from the previous 1973 edition. His books, The Singing Thing and The Singing Thing Too, as well as the many collections of songs and worship resources produced by John Bell—some together with other members of the Iona Community’s “Wild Goose Resource Group,” —are available in North America from GIA Publications.

Johann Sebastian Bach
1685 - 1750 Person Name: J. S. Bach, 1685-1750 Scripture: John 17:21-23 Harmonizer of "PASSION CHORALE" in Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) Johann Sebastian Bach was born at Eisenach into a musical family and in a town steeped in Reformation history, he received early musical training from his father and older brother, and elementary education in the classical school Luther had earlier attended.
Throughout his life he made extraordinary efforts to learn from other musicians. At 15 he walked to Lüneburg to work as a chorister and study at the convent school of St. Michael. From there he walked 30 miles to Hamburg to hear Johann Reinken, and 60 miles to Celle to become familiar with French composition and performance traditions. Once he obtained a month's leave from his job to hear Buxtehude, but stayed nearly four months. He arranged compositions from Vivaldi and other Italian masters. His own compositions spanned almost every musical form then known (Opera was the notable exception).
In his own time, Bach was highly regarded as organist and teacher, his compositions being circulated as models of contrapuntal technique. Four of his children achieved careers as composers; Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Chopin are only a few of the best known of the musicians that confessed a major debt to Bach's work in their own musical development. Mendelssohn began re-introducing Bach's music into the concert repertoire, where it has come to attract admiration and even veneration for its own sake.
After 20 years of successful work in several posts, Bach became cantor of the Thomas-schule in Leipzig, and remained there for the remaining 27 years of his life, concentrating on church music for the Lutheran service: over 200 cantatas, four passion settings, a Mass, and hundreds of chorale settings, harmonizations, preludes, and arrangements. He edited the tunes for Schemelli's Musicalisches Gesangbuch, contributing 16 original tunes. His choral harmonizations remain a staple for studies of composition and harmony. Additional melodies from his works have been adapted as hymn tunes.
