Author: Mary E. Byrne, 1880-1391; Eleanor H. Hull, 1860-1935 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #20 (1993) Meter: 10.10.9.10 First Line: Be thou my vision, O God of my heart Lyrics: 1 Be thou my vision, O God 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.
2 Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;
I ever with thee and thou with me God;
thou my soul’s shelter, thou my high tower.
raise thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
3 Riches I heed not, nor world's empty praise,
thou my inheritance, now and always;
thou and thou only, first in my heart,
Sov'reign of heaven, my treasure thou art.
