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.
