My favourite hymn of all time, reminds me to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus whatever comes my way- breakthroughs or challenges. "Heart of my own heart, whatever befall. Still be my vision, O Ruler of all".

I love this. So humble a hymn.

For over a month now, this tune has been in my head. I knew that I knew it, but couldn’t remember. At 70, there are a lot things that slip my mind. And although I was near constantly humming it, all that would come to mind was “Save that thou art”. So finally I searched it and happy I did.

I love this song. I wept as I sang it this past St. Patrick’s day as I was reminded of my Irish heritage. Praise the Lord we are all One in Him!

This is missing:

Be Thou my Breastplate, my Sword for the fight;

be Thou my whole Armor, be Thou my true Might;

be Thou my soul’s Shelter, be Thou my strong Tow’r,

O raise Thou me heav’nward, great Pow’r of my pow’r.
