Be Thou my vision, О Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.

Thou my best thought, by day or by night,

Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;

Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,

Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,

High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
