Today we come to the fourth in our series of Tuesday's Tunes - a list a favourite hymns / songs that were picked out at an evening service we had back in January.
Today's choice is a very old Irish hymn, from the 17th century - although the words are much old than that, coming out of the Irish monastic tradition.
The words are a prayer that God be everything to us - a great definition of what it means to be a disciple. There is the hope of the final victory and an acknowledgement that along the way anything may 'befall' us - but whatever comes, our prayer is that God will remain our vision.
For such a popular hymn there are lots of versions available to chose on the internet. Personally, as well as the words, I love the rhythm of this song - and so I have chosen a version that majors on the percussion.
