Be Thou My Vision
[Verse 1]
Be Thou my vision O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
[Verse 2]
Be Thou my wisdom,and 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.
[Verse 3]
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.
[Verse 4]
High King of heaven, my victâry 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. (line x2)
