Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought in the day and the 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
Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight
Be Thou my armour and be Thou my might

Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise
Thou my inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only, Thou first in my heart
High king of heaven my treasure Thou art

High king of heaven, when battle is done
Grant heaven's joy to me, bright heaven sun
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, my ruler of all
