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 child; Thou in me dwelling, and I

with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight; Be Thou

my Dignity, Thou my Delight; Thou my soul’s Shelter,

Thou my high Tower: Raise Thou me heavenward, O

Power of my power.

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 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.
