The hymn, "Be Thou My Vision," draws from a prayer, attributed to Dallan Forgaill in the 6th Century (and by some to St. Patrick). It was translated from Old Irish into English by Mary E. Byrne in 1905. Eleanor H. Hull versified it in 1912. The song captures the cry of a heart yearning for complete devotion to Christ. It is a prayer for all the things it lacks, and a commitment to the One who can bring them about. Here are two versions you might enjoy. The first is by Selah, the second is by Eden's Bridge.
