1. Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart— Nought 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. High King of heaven, my victory won, May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heav’n’s Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
