Be thou my vision, oh lord of my heart. Be all else but not 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. 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 1. Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight. Be Thou my whole armor. Be Thou my true might. Be Thou my soul's shelter. Be Thou my strong tower. Oh, raise Thou me heavenward, great power of my power. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise. Be Thou my inheritance now and always. Be Thou, and Thou only the first in my heart. O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure Thou art.
