Be Thou my vision

- Be thou my vision,
- O Lord of my heart,
- naught be all else to me,
- save that thou art;
- thou my best thought
- in the day and the night,
- waking or sleeping,
- thy presence my light.
- Be thou my wisdom,
- be thou my true word,
- I ever with thee
- and thou with me, Lord;
- thou my great Father
- and I thy true heir;
- thou in me dwelling,
- and I in thy care.
- Be thou my breastplate,
- my sword for the fight,
- be thou my armour
- and be thou my might,
- thou my soul's shelter,
- and thou my high tow'r,
- raise thou me heav'nward,
- O Pow'r of my pow'r.
- Riches I need not,
- nor all the world's praise,
- thou my inheritance
- through all my days;
- thou, and thou only,
- the first in my heart,
- high King of heaven,
- my treasure thou art!
- High King of heaven,
- when battle is done,
- grant heaven's joys to me,
- O bright heav'n's sun;
- Christ of my own heart,
- whatever befall,
- still be my vision,
- O Ruler of all.
