Be Thou My Vision - Sacred Music by John Rutter
Wings of the morning
If I take the wings of the morning
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea
Even there shall thy hand lead me
And thy right hand shall hold me
If I take the wings of the morning
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea
Even there shall thy hand lead me
And hold me
If I climb up into heaven thou art there
If I make my bed in hell behold thou art there
O Lord thou has searched me and known me
O Lord thou has searched me and known me
Has searched me and known me
Thou knowest my down-sitting and my uprising
Thou understandest my thought afar off
Thou compassest my path and my lying down
(thou compassest my path and my lying down)
And art acquainted with all my ways
(and art acquainted with all my ways)
For there is not a word in my tongue
But Lord O Lord thou knowest it altogether
Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
Lord thou art there
Thou art there
If I take the wings of the morning
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea
Even there shall thy hand lead me
And thy right hand shall hold me
If I say surely the darkness
Shall cover me
Even the night
Shall be light about me
Yeah the darkness is not darkness with thee
But the night
Shineth the night
Shineth as the day
Shineth as the day
If I take the wings of the morning
If I take the wings of the morning
If I take the wings of the morning
Thou art there
Thou art there
Thou art there
Thou art there
Thou art there O Lord
Thou art there O Lord
Thou art there
Thou art there
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea
Even there shall thy hand lead me
And thy right hand shall hold me
If I take the wings of the morning
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea
Even there shall thy hand lead me
And hold me
If I climb up into heaven thou art there
If I make my bed in hell behold thou art there
O Lord thou has searched me and known me
O Lord thou has searched me and known me
Has searched me and known me
Thou knowest my down-sitting and my uprising
Thou understandest my thought afar off
Thou compassest my path and my lying down
(thou compassest my path and my lying down)
And art acquainted with all my ways
(and art acquainted with all my ways)
For there is not a word in my tongue
But Lord O Lord thou knowest it altogether
Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
Lord thou art there
Thou art there
If I take the wings of the morning
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea
Even there shall thy hand lead me
And thy right hand shall hold me
If I say surely the darkness
Shall cover me
Even the night
Shall be light about me
Yeah the darkness is not darkness with thee
But the night
Shineth the night
Shineth as the day
Shineth as the day
If I take the wings of the morning
If I take the wings of the morning
If I take the wings of the morning
Thou art there
Thou art there
Thou art there
Thou art there
Thou art there O Lord
Thou art there O Lord
Thou art there
Thou art there
