Lyrics from The Cyber Hymnal

Lyrics from Mark Hamilton Dewey's Arrangement

1. Be Thou my Vision,
O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me,
Save that Thou art!
Thou art my best Thought,
By day or by night,
In waking or sleeping,
Thy presence my light.

2. Wilt Thou be my Captain
Over life's stormy sea,
Stay by me always,
And guide me to Thee;
Wilt Thou, my loving Father,
Take heed of my need,
And may I be numbered,
To dwell with Thy seed?

3. Be Thou my great Shield,
My Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity,
Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul's Shelter,
And Thou my high Tow'r:
Wilt Thou raise me heavenward,
O Pow'r of my pow'r?

4. Riches I heed not,
Or man's empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance,
Now and always:
Thou and Thou only,
Still first in my heart,
The High King of Heaven,
My Treasure Thou art.

5. High King of Heaven,
My victory won,
May I reach Heaven's joys,
O bright Heav'n's Sun!
Heart of my own heart,
Whatever befall,
Still be Thou my Vision,
O Ruler of all!
