Lord, 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.
Be Thou my
true word,
my great Father, and I my true Son.
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my shield, sword for the fight.
Be Thou my dignity, Thou my deal,
my soul's shelter.
Thou my high tower, raise Thou me heavenward.
O power of my power.
Riches I need not, for man's empty praise.
Thou my inheritance, now and always.
Thou and Thou only, first in love.
My King of Heaven, my
King of Heaven.
After 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.
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart.
Be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, my day or my night.
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
