#793: Be Thou My Vision

We get some Jesus=Proper Nouns here with Sun, Power, Ruler, Heart. It also probably qualifies as second person problems, rhyming "heart" with "thou art" (twice) and having lots of "thou"s.

The text is based on an Old Irish prayer that was translated into English in the early 1900s. Along with a translator, we have a "versifier" credited, who arranged it into an English poem! (If somewhat anachronistically given all the "thou" stuff.)

Yes, my choir also did an arrangement of this one, a lot of it was a soprano solo though.
