Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart

NS345
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.

This is missing:

Be Thou my Breastplate, my Sword for the fight;

be Thou my whole Armor, be Thou my true Might;

be Thou my soul’s Shelter, be Thou my strong Tow’r,

O raise Thou me heav’nward, great Pow’r of my pow’r.

My favourite. "Thou and thou only, first in my heart " God is all in all. He knows all and encouraging song to build Father-Son relationship with God.

In preparing for surgery I memorized this song. God granted me more days and I sang it to Him when I was alone in the hospital. It is so personal and has other verses. May you be blessed! Love, Anne

I miss the third vers with the breastplate. In a time of intrigue, false talking, denuntiation,... be Thou my whole Armour, my breastplate, my sword, my shelter (not the boss, God), my high tower...

To let the Lord rule and reign in me is not easy. I have a life of my own and I wish to reign in that. It’s only by applying the cross in my life that this new eternal life could reign in me. This is where we see Him. He is my vision. He is the Lord of my life! This is all want to see. This is enough.
