Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart

1
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.
2
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 me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
3
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise;
Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart;
O King of glory, my treasure Thou art.
4
O King of glory, my victory won;
Rule and reign in me ’til Thy will be done;
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall;
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

Hymns have always spoken richly to me. So I appreciate the Presbyterian publication including hymns in their Lenten devotions. It is very helpful to me.

I confess to being a ‘Hymn Nut’!

But it’s better Wingnut!

This is a most beautiful prayer, and I too use it with my daily devotional. When I cannot find the words to speak with God, this IS my prayer. And it stays within me all day.

I woke up with this song in my mind. Its a song I use to sing in primary school. Now reviewing the words, its so profound and meaningful.

Thank you Lord!!

This hymn is one where the words stay in your mind, and you find yourself singing it every morning. Unconsciously, most of the time. Beautiful words, and God brings ‘Your vision’ is so good a feeling.
