"Be Thou My Vision" Is A Traditional Hymn From Ireland. The Most Well Known English Version, With Some Minor Variations, Was Translated By Eleanor Hull And Published In 1912. In 1919, The Lyrics Were Set To The Tune Of The Irish Folk Tune "Slane", To Which The Song Is Sung To This Day, Both In English And Irish. The Song Has Often Been Attributed To The Sixth-Century Irish Christian Poet Saint Dallan, Though Some Scholars Cite An Eighth-Century Date.
Lyrics
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 Is Light
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
Be Thou My Battle Shield, The Sword For The Fight
Be Thou My Dignity, Thou My Delight
Thou My Soul's Shelter And Thou My High Tow'r
Raise Thou Me Heav'nward, O Pow'r Of My Pow'r
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
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.
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 Is Light
