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 Thy my true Word,
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord;
Thou my great Father and I Thy true son,
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one.
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.
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
"Therefore we have as our ambition , whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him."
