Be Thou Our Vision

Be Thou our vision, O Lord of our hearts,
Naught be all else to us, save that Thou art;
Thou our best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy Presence our light!

Be Thou our wisdom, and Thou our True Word,
We ever with Thee, and Thou with us Lord;
Thou our Great Father, we Thy true sons,
Thou in us dwelling, and we with Thee one!

Riches we heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou our inheritance, now and always,
Thou and Thou only, first in our hearts;
High King of Heaven, our treasure Thou art!

High King of Heaven, our victory won,
We've reach-ed Heaven's joys, in bright Heav'n's Sun;
Heart of our own hearts, whatever befall,
Still be our Vision, O Ruler of all!
