Be Thou My Vision

from Hymns Redux by Greg Willson

/

about

A classic Christian hymn that has been prayed and sung for many centuries.

lyrics

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 great Father
And I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling
And I with Thee one


Riches I heed not
Nor man's empty praise
Thou mine inheritance
Now and always

Thou and Thou only
Be first in my heart
High King of heaven
My treasure Thou art


High King of heaven
When victory is 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
