“Be Thou a Light” is a hymn by Anne McKinstry. It is based on a devotion by The Rev. John Cosin who was an English Anglican Bishop (1594-1672). The tune is African American.
What truly beautiful and uplifting sentiments are expressed in this piece John, and Anne. Such wonderful pure love. Thank you for sharing this little story with us john. It lifted my spirits up this evening.
Thank you Gordon and Cindy for your kind comments. Several years ago when my wife was in the hospital, I would call her, the last thing in the evening, and we would sing this prayer hymn to each other. I am glad that you could sense how it has meaning to me.
John, this was so beautiful! Sang from the heart and the baritone was perfect for this song! Thank you for sharing it today as it helped me through a tough day ❤️
