Be Thou My Vision
Mark A. Miller.
While the text is from the traditional hymn, the
composer has written an original melody with flowing
piano accompaniment for the first two verses. The
hymn tune
SLANE then appears as an interlude
leading to the third verse which is sung to that tune.
The piece ends with a return to the original melody.
Simple, fresh, and effective with any size SATB choir.

From the book of Jeremiah 31:33, the covenant of
the Lord says "I will put my law within them, and I
will write it on their hearts." David Haas has based

has beautifully captured its strong message in this

Great Is Thy Faithfulness
arr. Dan Forrest.
It would be difficult to find a more powerful
