lyrics

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.
Riches I need 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.
High King of Heaven, my victory 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.
