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, and I, Thy true son,
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou and Thou only, the first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my victory won;
May I reach Heaven’s joy, O bright Heaven’s sun;
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
