Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Be all else but naught 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 heavenward, great Power of my power
| |
Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise:
Be Thou mine inheritance now and always
Be Thou and Thou only the first in my heart
O Sovereign 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 befall
Still be Thou my vision, O Ruler of all
