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, 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.
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise -
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart -
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my 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.
