Description

Be Thou My Vision is one of the most known and loved Irish hymns. Below is a little background from the famous Wikipedia. Therefore, please do not take it as complete fact. I do, however, believe it to give some insightful information for those interested.

“Be Thou My Vision” (Old Irish: Rop tú mo baile or Rob tú mo bhoile) is a traditional Christian hymn of Irish origin. The words are based on a Middle Irish poem often attributed to the sixth-century Irish Christian poet Dallán Forgaill, although it is probably later than that. The best-known English version, with some minor variations, translated by Eleanor Hull and published in 1912. Since 1919 it has been commonly sung to an Irish folk tune, noted as “Slane” in church hymnals, and is one of the most popular hymns in the United Kingdom. ~ Wikipedia

This is a fairly easy arrangement for most beginning/intermediate players. Written in standard notation and tablature. The audio below is a midi reproduction from the notation software for the song. Obviously, it does not sound like a guitar. However, I believe it gives anyone interested in learning this arrangement an idea of the sound it will make on the instrument.
