Be Thou My Vision

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Riches I heed 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

[Verse 5]
High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright Sun
O grant me its joys after vict'ry is won;
Great heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all
