Be Thou My Vision
Mary Byrne, Eleanor Hull, David Coate ©2008

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

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
Be thou my vision be thou my vision
Heart of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my vision ruler of all x2

High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns Son!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

Chorus x2
