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.
2
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.
3
Riches
I heed not,
Nor
man’s empty praise,
Thou
my inheritance,
Now
and always:
Thou
and Thou only, first in my heart,
High
King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
4
High
King of heaven,
When
victory is 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.
