Be thou my vision, oh, Lord of my hearth
Nought be all else to me, save that thuou art
Thou my best thought in the day and the night
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light

Be thou my wisdon, be thou my true word
I ever with thee, and thou with me, lord
Thou my great father and I thy true son
Thou in me dwellinh, and I with thee one

Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight
Be thou my armour and be thou my might
Be my soul's shelter, and thou my high tower
Raise thou me heavenwards, o power of my power

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise
Thou my inheritance now and always
Thou and thou only, the first in my heart
High king of heaven, my treasure thou art

O high king of heaven, when battle is done
Grant heaven's joy to me, bright heaven's Sun
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, thou ruler of all
