GUEST,Dave MacKenzie Lyr Req: Be Thou My Vision / Slane (95* d) RE: Lyr Req: Be Thou My Vision / Slane 30 Jun 08


One problem with Slane is that it's actually two tunes (not really but most hymnbooks have 10 10 10 10 (Dactylic) versions for "be Thou my Vison" and 10 11 11 12 for "Lord of all hopefulness". It helps if the organist plays the right version!

As for inclusive words, the United Reforemed Church amended the words of BTMV so that it actually fits the tune when used for congregational singing, and in the second verse says

Thou my great Father, thy child let me be,
Thou in me dwelling, and I one with thee.

(Rejoice & Sing #489)
