Be Thou My Vision

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 Thou true son
Thou in me dwelling
And I one with Thee

Verse 3

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

Chorus 1

Lord You are
More precious than silver
Lord You are
More costly than gold

Chorus 2

Lord You are
More beautiful than diamonds
And nothing I desire
Compares with You

Verse 4

High King of heaven
My 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
