Be Thou My Vision (Slane)

An old favorite of mine, Be Thou My Vision is a traditional hymn from Ireland. The words are based on a Middle Irish poem often attributed to the sixth-century Irish Christian poet Dallán Forgaill. The best-known English version was translated by Eleanor Hull and published in 1912. Since 1919 it has been commonly sung to the Irish folk tune "Slane." Here is an instrumental version which makes use of Celtic flute, fiddle and bagpipes.

According to the YouTube site, the recording artist is Oean Magraw from the album, Morning Has Broken.
