Be Thou My Vision

The ancient Celtic Hymn, “Be Thou My Vision.” The text is a translation of a medieval text attributed to St Fallan, a 6th-century Celtic monk, poet, and follower of St Columba. The tune, “Slane,” is a traditional Irish melody, first transcribed in the early 20th century but likely much older. The text and the tune were combined in the Irish Church Hymnal in 1919, and it has spread around the world since.
