Be Thou My Vision

Words: Trad Irish Poem (tr Mary E. Byrne), vers Eleanor Hull, Music: Irish Melody

Verse 1
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

Verse 2
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

Verse 3
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight
Be Thou my Armor, and be Thou my Light
Thou my soul's Shelter, Thou my high Tow'r
Raise Thou me heav'nward, O Pow'r of my pow'r

Verse 4
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 Treasure Thou art

Verse 5
High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'n's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
still be my Vision, O Ruler of all
