| 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; |
| thine own may I be,
|
| thou in me dwelling and I one with thee.
|
| 3 Riches I heed not, nor vain, 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,
|
| Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
|
| still be my vision, O Ruler of all. |
