1 Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, not be all else to me. 2 Save that thou art, thou my best thought, by day or by night, waking or sleeping, thy presence my light. 3 Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word, I ever with thee, and thou with me, O Lord. 4 Thou my great Father, and I thy true Son, thou in me dwelling, and I with thee, O Lord. 5 Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise. Thou mine inheritance, now and always. 6 Thou and thou only, first in my heart, high king of heaven, my treasure thou art. 7 High king of heaven, my victory won! May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun! 8 Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, still be my vision, O ruler of all. 9 Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, still be my vision, O ruler of all.
