Be Thou My Vision

It describes God as being one's wisdom, word, father, shelter, armor, might, inheritance, treasure and ruler over all, both when waking and sleeping. It asks for God to be one's breastplate, sword, and armor for fighting, and to raise one heavenward with divine power after battle is done.

Be Thou My Vision

E
Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart.

Thou my best thought in the day and the night,

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my wisdom. Be Thou my true word;

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord.

Thou my great Father and I Thy true son;

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise;

Thou mine inheritance, now and always.

Thou and Thou only, the first in my heart;

High King of Heaven, my treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, when battle is done

Grant heaven's joy to me, bright heaven's sun.  
A                         E     A  B
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall,
E          A        F#m      A2  E 
Still be my vision, Thou  rul -er  of  all.
