Be Thou My Vision Songtext
von [traditional]

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.


Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true Word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord;
Thou my soul′s shelter, and thou my high tower;
Raise thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise;
Thou, mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou and thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my treasure thou art.

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.
