be thou my vision (lord you are)

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

and i thou 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

lord

you are more precious than silver

lord

you are more costly than gold

lord

you are more beautiful than diamonds

and nothing i desire compares with you

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
