<big>'''Welcome to HymnWiki'''</big>
=About HymnWiki=
HymnWiki is a site dedicated to hymns, children's songs (those associated with churches and religion), religious anthems, church music, other music commonly grouped with hymns, and compilations of such. HymnWiki aims to categorize most of the hymns in existence, as well as to host sheet music, MIDI files and lyrics for as many of these as legally possible. HymnWiki is for hymns of all faiths notwithstanding there is a large focus on the music and poetry of [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]], past, present and future. HymnWiki began in April of 2007. See [[HymnWiki:About|About HymnWiki]] for more information. If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and would like to use HymnWiki for church purposes, review the [[HymnWiki:Helps for Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints|Helps for Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] first.

=Announcements=
*The Discord invite link apparently stopped working, so I added a new one on 23 July 2025.
*I have finished restoring the PDF sheet music, MIDIs, and LilyPond files that were lost with the MediaWiki software update. The problem seems to have only affected files with non-ASCII characters and question marks in them. So, I'm guessing something in the MediaWiki software was updated to support Unicode. The only thing I wasn't able to restore was one of the ogg files (I didn't have a backup copy, and the copy on Archive.org was corrupted).
*We now have a Discord server (text-only). See the Discussion Board link in the navigation sidebar. If you wish to register, let me know there.
*To avoid broken links in future, I'm phasing out most new external links on HymnWiki, except with regard to public domain media, such as scanned hymnals. If you want to add external links, please (where possible) archive them at Archive.org, first (and use the archive link). Try to avoid linking to sites that don't let you archive their pages. The reason is to avoid unnecessary work in the future: If you feel it's vastly important for some reason, go ahead. Links to media on Archive.org are just fine.
*Terminology and articles have finally been updated to reflect [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/general-conference/2018/10/the-correct-name-of-the-church?lang=eng President Russell M. Nelson's October 2018 talk] on the name of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you find any I missed, please let us know on the discussion board. [Edit: I've still been finding articles that need fixing once in a while.]

=Featured Hymnist=
*[[Valdimar Briem]]

=Featured Hymn=
(See article for sheet music and midis.)
*'[[Begin, My Tongue, the Heavenly Theme]]'

=Featured Compilation=
*[[Elmhurst Hymnal, and, Orders of Worship: For the Sunday School, Young People's Meetings and Church Services, 1921|Elmhurst Hymnal, and, Orders of Worship: For the Sunday School, Young People's Meetings and Church Services, 1921]]

=Recommendation=
If you're just here looking for public domain PDF sheet music, I recommend looking at [[:Category:Public_Domain_PDF_Sheet_Music|this category]] rather than the links in the sidebar. Note that each piece of content may be individually licensed; so, while articles in that category should contain public domain content, they may also contain restricted content (such as is the case with [[What Wondrous Love Is This]]).

1. Dear Lord and Father of mankind, 
Forgive our foolish ways; 
Reclothe us in our rightful mind, 
In purer lives Thy service find, 
In deeper reverence, praise.

2. In simple trust like theirs who heard, 
Beside the Syrian sea, 
The gracious calling of the Lord, 
Let us, like them, without a word, 
Rise up and follow Thee.

3. O Sabbath rest by Galilee, 
O calm of hills above, 
Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee 
The silence of eternity, 
Interpreted by love!

4. With that deep hush subduing all 
Our words and works that drown 
The tender whisper of Thy call, 
As noiseless let Thy blessing fall 
As fell Thy manna down.

5. Drop Thy still dews of quietness, 
Till all our strivings cease; 
Take from our souls the strain and stress, 
And let our ordered lives confess 
The beauty of Thy peace.

6. Breathe through the heats of our desire 
Thy coolness and Thy balm; 
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; 
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, 
O still, small voice of calm.

1. Dear Lord and Father of mankind, 
Forgive our foolish ways; 
Reclothe us in our rightful mind, 
In purer lives Thy service find, 
In deeper reverence, praise.

2. In simple trust like theirs who heard, 
Beside the Syrian sea, 
The gracious calling of the Lord, 
Let us, like them, without a word, 
Rise up and follow Thee.

3. O Sabbath rest by Galilee, 
O calm of hills above, 
Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee 
The silence of eternity, 
Interpreted by love!

4. With that deep hush subduing all 
Our words and works that drown 
The tender whisper of Thy call, 
As noiseless let Thy blessing fall 
As fell Thy manna down.

5. Drop Thy still dews of quietness, 
Till all our strivings cease; 
Take from our souls the strain and stress, 
And let our ordered lives confess 
The beauty of Thy peace.

6. Breathe through the heats of our desire 
Thy coolness and Thy balm; 
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; 
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, 
O still, small voice of calm.

==Lyrics from [[Mark Hamilton Dewey|Mark Hamilton Dewey's]] SSATBB arrangement==
*Note: The arranger isn't satisfied with this arrangement—so, now that he has found a translation of all sixteen Irish verses, he plans to make a new version.
*Contributer: The arranger
*Copyright: Public Domain - All portions that were not already public domain were released to the public domain by the arranger on 27 July 2007. He already had released the versification (except for a few changes in the third verse, which he released to the public domain in 2007) to the public domain in 2006.
*Poetic Meter: [[P.M.|Irregular]], but it may work as [[:category:5 5 6 4 5 5 6 5|5 5 6 4 5 5 6 5]] and/or [[:category:5 5 5 5 5 5 6 5|5 5 5 5 5 5 6 5]].
*Arranger's Notes: The first two verses differ significantly from the original, and the other verses contain some less major alterations, mostly for versification and to conform with the mood established by the changes in the first two verses. The second verse was changed for several reasons: 1. To accommodate female singers (i.e. it once said ''and I Thy true son'', with ''son'' referring to the singer. 2. The altered note on the last system made it difficult to simply reversify that verse. The first verse was altered to avoid a certain double meaning to those who would think of the song less poetically. The first line of the first verse was changed for the sake of mood, as it contrasted strangely with the previous verses, before the change, although I did like ''for the fight'' more than ''in the fight'' and ''in the fight'' is quickly growing on me with the new mood, but ''for'' just didn't fit as well. The change to ''Guardian'' I much preferred, as it avoided the whole conflict of what kind of armor name I should use (plus it made the song seem less war-like, though it fit well being thus in the original version).

1. Be Thou my Vision, 
Through night and come day; 
'Light* on me always, 
Thy Spirit to stay— 
Thou, Eternal Father, 
The Great and the Last, 
The wise and true Sov'reign 
Of all that shall pass. 
(*Note that 'Light stands for ''Alight'')

2. Be Thou my Wisdom, 
My Staff and my Stay, 
Shine through the darkness; 
Give light to my way! 
Be Thou the true Source 
Of all I enjoy, 
So let carnal pleasures 
No longer annoy.

3. Be Thou my Guardian, 
My Sword in the fight; 
Be Thou my Dignity, 
Thou my Delight; 
Thou my soul's Shelter, 
And Thou my high Tow'r: 
Wilt Thou raise me heavenward, 
O Pow'r of my pow'r?

4. Riches I heed not, 
Or man's empty praise, 
Thou mine Inheritance, 
Now and always: 
Thou and Thou only, 
Still first in my heart, 
The High King of Heaven, 
My Treasure Thou art.

5. High King of Heaven, 
My victory won, 
May I reach Heaven's joys, 
O bright Heav'n's Sun! 
Heart of my own heart, 
Whatever befall, 
Still be Thou my Vision, 
O Ruler of all!

1. Andi guðs sveif áður fyr

Upp þá lukust ljóssins dyr,

Upp reis jörðin ung og ný,
árdags geislum böðuð í,
þá úr dimmu djúpi.

2. Andi guðs sveif annað sinn

Þegar ljet sig lausnarinn

Opnast himin, eins og nýtt

<pre>1. The Spirit of God hovered before
over the deep of the waters.
Then the doors of light opened,
and the shroud of darkness lifted.
The earth arose, young and new,
bathed in the rays of the dawn,
then from the dark deep.

2. The Spirit of God hovered a second time
over the cold water,
when the Redeemer allowed Himself
to be washed in Jordan’s wave.
Heaven opens, as if new,
gently dawns the light from above
from the cold deep of death.

3. The Spirit still hovers as before
over clear water;
the glory doors of heaven open
to the dear children of the Lord.
After the blessed bath of baptism,
the flower grows up anew,
dewed with life in clear light.</pre>

Veramet: /* Announcements */

<big>'''Welcome to HymnWiki'''</big>
=About HymnWiki=
HymnWiki is a site dedicated to hymns, children's songs (those associated with churches and religion), religious anthems, church music, other music commonly grouped with hymns, and compilations of such. HymnWiki aims to categorize most of the hymns in existence, as well as to host sheet music, MIDI files and lyrics for as many of these as legally possible. HymnWiki is for hymns of all faiths notwithstanding there is a large focus on the music and poetry of [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]], past, present and future. HymnWiki began in April of 2007. See [[HymnWiki:About|About HymnWiki]] for more information. If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and would like to use HymnWiki for church purposes, review the [[HymnWiki:Helps for Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints|Helps for Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] first.

=Announcements=
*I have finished restoring the PDF sheet music, MIDIs, and LilyPond files that were lost with the MediaWiki software update. The problem seems to have only affected files with non-ASCII characters and question marks in them. So, I'm guessing something in the MediaWiki software was updated to support Unicode. The only thing I wasn't able to restore was one of the ogg files (I didn't have a backup copy, and the copy on Archive.org was corrupted).
*We now have a Discord server (text-only). See the Discussion Board link in the navigation sidebar. If you wish to register, let me know there.
*To avoid broken links in future, I'm phasing out most new external links on HymnWiki, except with regard to public domain media, such as scanned hymnals. If you want to add external links, please (where possible) archive them at Archive.org, first (and use the archive link). Try to avoid linking to sites that don't let you archive their pages. The reason is to avoid unnecessary work in the future: If you feel it's vastly important for some reason, go ahead. Links to media on Archive.org are just fine.
*Terminology and articles have finally been updated to reflect [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/general-conference/2018/10/the-correct-name-of-the-church?lang=eng President Russell M. Nelson's October 2018 talk] on the name of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you find any I missed, please let us know on the discussion board. [Edit: I've still been finding articles that need fixing once in a while.]

=Featured Hymnist=
*[[Valdimar Briem]]

=Featured Hymn=
(See article for sheet music and midis.)
*'[[Begin, My Tongue, the Heavenly Theme]]'

=Featured Compilation=
*[[Elmhurst Hymnal, and, Orders of Worship: For the Sunday School, Young People's Meetings and Church Services, 1921|Elmhurst Hymnal, and, Orders of Worship: For the Sunday School, Young People's Meetings and Church Services, 1921]]

=Recommendation=
If you're just here looking for public domain PDF sheet music, I recommend looking at [[:Category:Public_Domain_PDF_Sheet_Music|this category]] rather than the links in the sidebar. Note that each piece of content may be individually licensed; so, while articles in that category should contain public domain content, they may also contain restricted content (such as is the case with [[What Wondrous Love Is This]]).
