| 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, Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, I Thy true son; Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. |
High King of Heaven, after 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. Ancient Irish Hymn Translated by Mary Elizabeth Byrne Versified by Eleanor Henrietta Hull |
