Be thou my vision, O Lord of my Heart, Be all else but naught to me, save that thou art; Be thou my best thought in The day and The night, Both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light. Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word, Be thou ever with me, and I with Thee, Lord; Be thou my great FaTher, and I thy true son; Be thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Be thou my breastplate, my sword for The fight; Be thou my whole armour, be thou my true might; Be thou my soul's shelter, be thou my strong tower; O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power. Riches I heed not, not man's empty praise, Be thou my inheritance now and always; Be thou and thou only The first in my Heart: O Sov'reign of heaven, my treasure thou art. High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright Son, O grant me its joys after victr'y is won; Great Heart of my own Heart, whatever befall, Still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all.  less

We live in The night ocean wondering, What are These lights? Texts by Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks © 1995 Coleman Barks. Used by permission. Performed by The Millennium Consort, Martin Neary, conductor, and The Pomona College Choir, Donna Di Grazia, director. Water Ruminations is a setting of six poems by The thirteenth-century poet Rumi, in English translations from The Persian by Coleman Barks, for double Choir and organ. The poetry sings of literal and spiritual connections between water and sky, a drop of water and human life, flowing water and love, drinking water and its container, The giddiness of spring and rolling seas, and The ocean's gifts and singing. Its images, from 800 years ago, speak to us with both vivid immediacy and transcendence. The idea for The piece originated with The Mellon Elemental Arts Initiative, which proposed funding activities that would involve students in ar...    less
