Be Thou My Vision

Though this site is mainly a weblog about worship & God, I wanted to provide a page with the chords, lyrics & music for the hymn inspiring the title of this weblog (& inspiring me in many other ways!) - Be Thou My Vision. That, & many people find me searching for only this! :)

Be Thou My Vision
By: Mary E. Byrne & Eleanor Hull
Irish hymn

Be thou my vision, oh 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 my dwelling, and I with thee one.

Riches I need 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.

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.
