547   Be Thou My Vision




[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.

[2]
Be Thou my wisdom
Be Thou my true word;
I ever with Thee
Thou with me Lord;
Thou my great Father
I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling
And I with Thee one.

[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.

[4]
High King of heaven
When vict ry is won
May I reach heaven s joys
O bright heaven s Sun!
Heart of my own heart
Whatever befall
Still be my vision
O ruler of all.
