be thou my vision o Lord of my heart
naught be all else to me, save that thou art
thou my best comfort by day or by night
waking or sleeping, they presence my light.
be thou my wisdom and thou my true word
i ever with thee and thou with me Lord
thou my great Father, i thy true son
thou in me dwelling and i with thee one.
be thou my battleshield, sword for the fight
be thou my dignity, thou my delight
thou my soul's shelter, thou my high Tower
raise thou me heavenward 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 thy 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.
