Van morrison be thou my vision lyrics

Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart

Nought be all else to me, save that Thy art

Thou my best thought in the day and the night

Waking or sleeping, Thou presence my light 

Be Thou my wisdom, be 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 



Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight

Be Thou my armour and be Thou my might

Thou my soul shelter, and Thy my high tower

Raise Thou me heavenwards, oh power of my power 



Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise

Thou mine inheritance through all of my days

Thou and Thou only though first in my heart

High king of heaven my treasure Thou art 



Oh high king of heaven, when battle is done

Grant heaven's joy to me, bright heaven sun

Christ of my own heart, whatever befall

Still be my vision, though ruler of all 



Da, da, da, da, da, etc
