Be Thou My Vision - Lyrics

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


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


Be Thou my Breastplate my Sword for the fight
be Thou my whole Armor be Thou my true Might
be Thou my soul’s Shelter be Thou my strong Tow’r
O raise Thou me heav’nward great Pow’r of my pow’r


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 High King of heaven my Treasure Thou art


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
