Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; <br />Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art; <br />Thou my best Thought, by day or by night, <br />Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. <br />Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word; <br />I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord; <br />Thou my great Father, I Thy true son; <br />Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. <br />Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight; <br />Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight; <br />Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tow’r: <br />Raise Thou me heav’nward, O Pow’r of my pow’r. <br />Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise, <br />Thou mine Inheritance, now and always: <br />Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, <br />High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art. <br />High King of Heaven, my victory won, <br />May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heav’n’s Sun! <br />Heart of my own heart, whate’er befall, <br />Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
