Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart Nought be all else to me, save that Thy art Thou my best thought in the day and the night Waking or sleeping, Thou presence my light
Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true word I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord Thou my great Father and I Thy true son Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one
Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight Be Thou my armour and be Thou my might Thou my soul shelter, and Thy my high tower Raise Thou me heavenwards, oh power of my power
Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise Thou mine inheritance through all of my days Thou and Thou only though first in my heart High king of heaven my treasure Thou art
