be thou my vision

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.

求作我远象，我心中主宰；万事皆虚空，除我主以外。
主是我昼夜最美思想，清醒或睡眠恩光仍照亮。
求作我智慧，我心中真道；容我常就主，蒙主亲引导；
主是我真父伟大慈爱，求住我心中作唯一主宰。
不羡慕财富，和空虚称赞，主是我现在和永远嗣产；
主在我心中永居首位，天上大君王才是最珍贵。
天上大君王，天上大辉光，得胜的喜乐，是我所渴望；
我心之中心南针是赖，仍作我远象，管理的主宰。
