Be Thou my vision O Lord of my heart
Nought be all else to me, save Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my wisdom, Thou my true word
I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father and I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
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 God be my everything, be my delight
Be Jesus my glory, my soul satisfied (2x)
My Jesus, You satisfy (4x)
High King of heaven, after vict'ry 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. (this line 2x)
O God be my everything, be my delight
Be Jesus my glory, my soul satisfied (2x)

To end the song it sounds great with Guitar 1 finger picking the verse chords
softly with stringed instrument accompaniment (if available) to give body.
