BE THOU MY VISION

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.

Eleanor Hull (d 1935)

BE THOU MY VISION

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 VISION

Be Thou my breastplate, �my word for the fight;

Be Thou my whole armour, �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.

BE THOU MY VISION

Riches I heed not, �nor e’en 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.

BE THOU MY VISION

High King of heaven, �Thou heaven’s bright sun.

O grant me its joys, �after victory is won;

Great heart of my own heart, �what ever befall.

Still be Thou my vision, �O Ruler of all.
