Be Thou My Vision [CF:CM8600]

Slane, one of the most beloved of contemporary hymn tunes, is best known set to these words derived from an ancient Irish poem by Mary E. Byrne and Eleanor H. Huli. This version, by Hal Hopson, lets the lovely tune shine forth with some simple part writing and sections that contrast male and female voices. The Handbell parts add a rich embellishment to the beautiful melody. Easy. General Church.
