Lyrics

[Verse 1] Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Be all else but naught to me, save that thou art; Be thou my best thought in the day and the night Both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light [Verse 2] Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word Be thou ever with me, and I with thee, Lord; Be thou my great Father, and I thy true son; Be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one [Verse 3] Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight; Be thou my whole armour, be thou my true might; Be thou my soul's shelter, be thou my strong tower: O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power [Verse 4] Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise; Be thou mine inheritance now and always; Be thou and thou only the first in my heart:: O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art [Verse 5] High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright Sun O grant me its joys after vict'ry is won; Great heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all
