Be Thou My Vision


Be Thou my vision O Lord of my heart
Be all else but nought to me save that Thou Art
Be Thou my best thought in the day and the night
Both waking and sleeping Thy presence my light

Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true word
Be Thou ever with me and I with Thee Lord
Be Thou my great Father and I Thy true son
Be Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one

Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight
Be Thou my whole armour, be Thou my true might
Be Thou my soul’s shelter, be Thou my strong tower
O raise Thou me heav’nward, great power of my power

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise
Be Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Be Thou and Thou only the first in my heart
O Sov’reign of heaven, my treasure Thou art

High King of heaven, Thou heaven’s bright sun
O grant me its joys after victory is won
Great heart of my own heart, whatever befalls
Still be Thou my vision, O ruler of all
