Song of Remembrance

His voice in a whisper quieted my wandering thoughts.

“Post for remembrance.”

But what shall I post?

“Ask what you will, I will give it to you.”

May I put it in song using another’s voice since I can’t sing?

“I will receive it as your song of remembrance.”

Therefore, I sing to You this prayer. May it be a pleasing sound in Your ear.

Prayer:

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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.
