BE THOU MY VISION


Replacing You in any fashion has never yielded increase
There will never be anything in this life as sweet as my fellowship with You

No joy so great
No love so pure
No peace so sure
No rest so perfect

You will always be my best thought
You will always be the Lord of my heart
You will always be my greatest delight
Your presence is my life

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.
