Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; 

be all else but naught to me, save that Thou art; 

be Thou my best thought in the day and the night, 

both waking and sleeping, Thy presence my light. 

Be Thou my Wisdom, be Thou my true Word; 

be Thou ever with me and I with Thee, Lord; 

be Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son, 

be Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. 

Be Thou my Breastplate, my Sword for the fight; 

be Thou my whole Armor, be Thou my true Might; 

be Thou my soul’s Shelter, be Thou my strong Tow’r, 

O raise Thou me heav’nward, great Pow’r of my pow’r. 

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise, 

be Thou mine inheritance, now and always; 

be Thou and Thou only the first in my heart, 

O High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art. 

High King of heaven, Thou heaven's bright Sun, 

O grant me its joys, after vict'ry is won; 

Great Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, 

still be Thou my Vision, O Ruler of all.
