Harpist Regina Ederveen plays Be Thou My Vision an old christian hymn on an Irish melody.
For more info: www.reginaederveen.nl
I play the arrangement of Daniel Burton, which is published in the book ''Hymns for Harp'' book three, Jubal Harp Series, published by VanderBilt Music Company.
This is the lyric:
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, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul's Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
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 my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Great video Regina, and lovely Harps!
I work with a harpist who has made the finals in this years YouTube Symphony (Amy Turk from England)
I'm sure she'd really appreciate you watching her audition:)
All the best and greetings from partly snowy England,
