verse 1 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.
verse 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.
verse 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.
verse 4 High King of Heaven, my victory won; May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Son! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall; Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
