START
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 and 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 thy true son; 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 and thou my high tower - raise me, thou, heavenward, O power of my power.
Riches I heed not nor man's empty praise; thou my 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 heaven's son. Heart of my own heart whatever befall still be my vision O ruler of all.
Heart of my own heart whatever befall still be my vision O ruler of all.
