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
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 son
Thou in me dwelling and I with thee one
Be thou my breastplate my sword for the fight
Be thou my armour and be thou my might
Thou my soul’s shelter thou my high tow’r
Raise thou me heavenwards O power of my power
Riches I heed not nor man’s empty praise
Thou my inheritance now and always
Thou and thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven my treasure thou art
High King of heaven when battle is done
Grant heaven’s joy to me bright heaven’s sun
Christ of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my vision thou ruler of all
