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 vision, be thou my true word Be thou ever with me and I with thee Lord Be thou my great father and I your true son Be thou my dwelling and I with Thee one. Be thou my breastplate and sword for the fight Be thou my armour, be thou my true might Be thou my soul'd shelter, be thou my strong tower O raise thou me heavenward, great power of my power Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise Be thou my inheritance, now and always Be thou and thou only the first in my heart O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art High King of heaven, Thou heaven's bright sun O Grant me its joys after victory's won GReat Heart of my own heart, whtever befall Still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all.
