I Prayed have prayed
Lord of our hearts, be our vision. May You be all to us, our thoughts waking and sleeping, and may Your presence be our light.

Soak in the beauty of the music of this traditional hymn. As we begin 2020, how appropriate it is to pray that the Lord would be our vision. The words to this wonderful hymn are below.

 

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;
O King of glory, my treasure Thou art.

O King of glory, my victory won;
Rule and reign in me ’til Thy will be done;
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall;
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

There is a hymn titled “Take Time to Be Holy” that was my great grandfather’s favorite:

Take time to be holy
Speak oft with thy God
Abide in Him always
And feed on His Word
Make friends with Gods children
Help those who are weak
Forgetting in nothing
His blessings to seek.

Take time to be holy
The world rushes on
Spend much time in secret
With Jesus alone
By looking to Jesus
Like Him you shall be
Thy friends in thy conduct
His likeness will see.

What a great prayer for the new year we all need this. Jesus is Calling us to follow him no matter what and to be holy as He is what an awesome Heavenly Father we have to provide a way for us to be with him forever and calling us in this life to follow him and be holy as He is.

Take time to be holy,
speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always,
and feed on His Word.
Make friends of God’s children,
help those who are weak,
Forgetting in nothing
His blessing to seek.

Take time to be holy,
the world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret,
with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus,
like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct
His likeness shall see.

Take time to be holy,
let Him be thy Guide;
And run not before Him,
whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow,
still follow the Lord,
And, looking to Jesus,
still trust in His Word.

Take time to be holy,
be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each motive
beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit
to fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted
for service above.
