Be Thou My Vision

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.

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, or 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.

4.

High King of heaven, my victory won,

May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heav’n’s Sun!

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,

Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
