Lord in Heaven, who takes away pain
Be thou my vision, in your Holy name
Stay with me now, in darkness and light
I pray to You Jesus, forever my life
Be thou my vision, save me from sin
I see you in blue skies, where all life begins
Come to me Dear Jesus
My soul yours to keep
Give me strength to help others
As you would have done
My holy need is your blessing
In all life to come
Be thou my vision and bright guiding ray
One I can see and feel here always
Be thou with me, wherever You will
Blessed by Your cross, my life now You fill
Oh! Holy vision, thou hast given me
Let the love of the angels, Your love impart
My Lord, You the wonder
The joy of my heart
You watch me and nourish me
And You made me your own
Be thou my vision,
That my heart never roam

~Be Thou My Vision~
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
Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for my fight,
Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight.
Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower.
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and thou only, the first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art
High King of heaven, O bright heaven's sun
May I reach heaven's joys, the victory won
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
