This hymn is NOT also known as Be Thou My Vision. That is a different hymn altogether. This tune uses the same traditional Irish folk tune, but with anacruses (lead-ins) at the beginning of lines 2, 3 and 4, which I think makes it even more beautiful than without.
@wampahoth thanks for sharing this video! this is one of my favorite hymn. i am getting married this fall, & want it included into the mass. what is the title of this version?
@foucle music is a tool that can be used to inspire both love and hate. It is powerful and long ago they knew this better than we do today. Listening to Justin Bieber makes me want to break every commandment.
This is one of the most beautiful hymns. I stood at the graveside of our child and sang this with my dear husband, children and friends 6 years ago. It is a hymn of trust and hope....it makes me proud of my Irish heritage and Catholic faith. May we always keep hope in our hearts.....
@KukanaOgilvie i am desperately trying to find the vocal version of Daises are our Silver....etc etc..does anyone know where i can find this? i was spoken at my Nannies funeral as a poem but i know there is a musical version of it and i am having so much trouble finding it..any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful music!
Be Blessed !!

@davidfrom1951 The tune is known as "Slane"

The traditional Irish tune is now known as "Slane".
"Be Thou my vision" is an approximate translation of the original Gaelic words.

..and to think that a long, long time ago, there was quite a debate about the use of music in religious services.
Where would religion be without these deeply touching sounds? Life is a dance. The music is therefore vital.

@foucle: I agree. It would be a bleak world without music in worship. Thanks for commenting.
