Be thou my vision

God is in us all the time.  In our hearts.  Just as this great hymn describes.

Be Thou My Vision attributed to Dal­lan For­gaill
8th cent. translated by Mary E. Bryne, 1905 

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, I Thy true son;
 Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight; 
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight; 
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tow’r: 
Raise Thou me heav’nward, O Pow’r of my pow’r. 

Riches I heed 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 Heav’n’s Sun! 
Heart of my own heart, whate’er befall, 
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
