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 Tower Raise Thou me heavenward, 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 King of Heaven, my victory won May I reach Heaven's joys, O bright Heaven's Sun Heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all
