- Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
- all else but naught to me, save that thou art;
- thou my best thought by the day by night,
- waking and sleeping, thy presence my light.
- Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word,
- thou ever with me, and I with thee Lord;
- thou my great Father, and I thy true son;
- thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
- Be thou my breastplate, sword for the fight;
- thou my whole armor, thou my true might;
- thou my soul’s shelter, my strong tower:
- raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power.
- Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise:
- thou mine inheritance now and always;
- thou and thou only first in my heart;
- Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art.
- High King of heaven, thou heaven’s bright sun,
- grant me its joys after victory is won;
- Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
- still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
- S. Kim
