An original hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mark R. Fotheringham below.  Watch on YouTube: Be Thou

Be Thou our glorious King, gentle and just.
Be Thou our gracious Lord, ris’n from the dust.
Be Thou our Comforter, when darkness falls.
Be Thou our confidence, when heaven calls.

Be Thou our minister, help to appoint.
Be Thou our Priest on high, souls to anoint.
Be Thou our anchor true, when tossed at sea.
Be Thou our beacon light, help us to see.

When seeking for the truth, be Thou our guide.
When fear should strike the heart, ever abide.
If we should stray from Thee, our Shepherd be.
Savior from sin and death, come, set us free.
