Be Thou My
Vision
Numbers 12:6 Then He said, If there is a prophet among
you, I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a
dream.
Words: Ancient Irish;
translated to English by Mary Elizabeth Byrne, 1905. You may also find a version
of the words in Eleanor Hull’s Poem Book of the Gael (1912).
Music:
“Slane,” of Irish folk origin.
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 Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my
power.
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 heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own
heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of
all.
