Be Thou My Vision
Public Domain. Ancient Irish hymn.
   E       B   C#m      A       B  E
1. Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
B             C#m          A             B
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
C#m     B    A        B  E      B    C#m B
Thou my best thought, by day or by   night,
E      B     C#m            A       B  E
Waking or    sleeping, Thy presence my light.

   E       B  C#m      A          B    E
2. Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
B                C#m  A              B
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
C#m     B     A       B   E      B   C#m B
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son;
E       B    C#m         A      B    E
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

   E      B  C#m          A     B     E
3. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
B            C#m       A            B
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
C#m      B    A     B     E   B   C#m B
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
E         B    C#m         A      B   E
High king of heaven, my treasure Thou art.

   E         B   C#m    A   B      E
4. High king of heaven, my victory won,
B                    C#m   A                 B
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun!
C#m      B    A        B    E   B    C#m B
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
E        B    C#m      A    B  E
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.
