Be Thou my vision O Lord of my heart
Nought be all else to me, save Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Interlude
Bridge
From the mouth of man, their praise I will not seek
Nor riches from this land, they are empty and weak
for first in my heart, the High King in Heaven's seat
His treasure, set before me, is all that I'll seek.
Verse 4
High King of heaven, after victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
