 | 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.
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 heav'n's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all. |
