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, and I thy true son
Thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
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.
(This is my favorite hymn. It says everything I want to say.)

Jennifer,
How AWESOME!!!! That is my fav too. Hope you are doing well and you are settling into a good school routine. Paul and I had a great 2 day visit to Baylor.Paul got to go to the BUX Island "party" and see Kutless. He is considering AFROTC, if you can believe it. Happy Wed. Love ya, Stacey
Lucky for me I had an old Methodist hymnal so could look up the tune and surprise! It is one of my fvorites, too. We just don't sing it much these days. We sing newer ones now at our contemporary evening service. When Jennifer doesn't have a new Post and I'm missing you all, I go back to your first blog; today I watched some family pictures. And I'm not lonesome any more! Love, Grandmother Borger
