03:02 Lyrics
11:25 Performance

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, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

The first lyrics mean a lot to me. Being transformed by Christ in the mind and putting God first in my life means that everything else can wait and nothing is more important to me.

I love that song! It touches my heart every time i hear it.
I think it means let me see through Jesus’ eyes, giving me his desires, making his will mine, guiding my every step.

I'm planning to have eye surgery this week and with that comes some anxiety. Thank you for sharing about this beautiful hymn. Alto I want good physical vision, most of all I want spiritual vision to see Him and His glory.

This hymn touched my heart so much ten years ago. It was translated into Polish but it was not possible to sing. This month our Lord gave final words and now we sing this powerful hymn in our church. Praise the Lord!!!!

The whole Hymn is wonderful! Truly explains how I love Jesus❤ But one part that really touches my heart "Heart of my own heart..." Those words, to know my Lord Jesus is my Heart! That close relationship, I'm in His heart as well... So close, so safe, such peace that transcends all understanding... Just to be in my Saviour's presence every hour, every second of every day... And for eternity with my Lord!

We love this timeless hymn!!! ❤ we sang it our wedding at the Duke University Chapel, Durham, North Carolina. Its words are profound! That a monk wrote it in the 900’s A.D. testifies to its timelessness! What a treasure!

I went up onto The Hill of Tara and stood looking across to the Hill of Slane with it playing on my headphones. Magical.

Beautiful Irish tune is called "Slane". Slane is a small village in C Meath, where there is a small hill. The hill is the location where Patrick lit his fire to celebrate Easter. The pagan King ordered his druid priests to challenge Patrick, but of course Patrick had his breastplate and sword to protect him and he was not harmed in the battle. That protection is Our Risen Lord and Saviour.
