| Be Thou My Vision |
| |
| Be Thou my Vision, O 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 my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word; |
| 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. |
| |
| Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight; |
| Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight; |
| Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tow’r: |
| Raise Thou me heav’nward, O Pow’r of my pow’r. |
| |
| 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 of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art. |
| |
| High King of Heaven, my victory won, |
| May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heav’n’s Sun! |
| Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, |
| Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all. |
