  Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart, Naught is all else to me, save that Thou art. Thou my best thought by day and by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord. Thou my great Father, I thy dear son; Thou in me dwelling, I with Thee one. Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for the fight, Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight. Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower; Raise Thou me heavenward, Power of my power. 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. Thy love in my heart, Thy light in my soul. Thy light from my soul, Thy love from my heart, King of the seven heavens, may they never depart. With the High King of heaven, after 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. |
