CLASS SONG Be Ihou My Vision Be Thou myVision, 0 Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art. Thou my best Thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. Be Thou myWisdom, and Thou my trueWord; I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, I Thy true son; Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise, Thou mine Inheritance, now and always: Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King ofHeaven, my Treasure Thou art. High King ofHeaven, my victory won, May I reach Heaven's joys, 0 bright Heaven's Sun! Heart ofmy own heart, whatever befall, Still be myVision, 0 Ruler of all. li-...lirion.tlfri,h hyrrm, u:tmlated by M.uy I~ Bym<; '""ilicJ by fleanor ILHull CONVOCATION Prelude On a Hymnsong ofPhilip Bliss Brass Choir *Processional Pomp and Circumstance Brass Choir *Invocation William Rudd, D.D.
