<p>Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;<br>
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art<br>
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,<br>
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.</p>
<p>Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;<br>
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;<br>
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;<br>
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.</p>
<p>Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;<br>
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;<br>
Thou my soul&#8217;s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:<br>
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.</p>
<p>Riches I heed not, nor man&#8217;s empty praise,<br>
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:<br>
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,<br>
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.</p>
<p>High King of heaven, my victory won,<br>
May I reach heaven&#8217;s joys, O bright heaven&#8217;s Sun!<br>
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,<br>
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.</p>
