Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that thou art
Thou art 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 shield and my Sword for the fight;
Be thou my dignity, 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 heed not nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance now and always;
Thou and thou only be first in my heart,
High King of heavèn, my treasure thou art.

High King of heavèn, when vict'ry is won,
May I reach heavèn's joys, O bright heav’n’s sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.
