Be Thou My Vision

Lyrics

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 armor 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  
  
Oh high king of heaven, when battle is done  
Grant heaven's joy to me, bright heaven sun  
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall  
Still be my vision, though ruler of all  
  
Da, da, da, da, da,
