Be Thou my Vision
Verse 1
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.

Verse 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.

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 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.
