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. 

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word; 
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord; 
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son, 
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. 
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. 

High King of heaven, my victory won, 
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'n Sun! 
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, 
Still be my Vision, O ruler of all.
