Verse 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
Verse 2:
Be Thou my wisdom, and 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
Verse 3:
Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight
Thou my whole armour, be Thou my true might
Thou my soul’s shelter, and Thou my strong tower
O raise Thou me heavenward, great power of my power
Verse 4:
High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven’s joy, O bright heaven’s sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, oh Ruler of all
Still be my vision, oh Ruler of all
