Lyrics
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, Thou my true word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord.
Thou my great Father and 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 strong shelter, Thou my high tower;
Raise Thou me heav’nward, O power of my power.
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 of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heav’n’s joys, O bright Heaven’s sun.
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall;
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
