paroles de chanson Be Thou My Vision - Traditional

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
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
Thou ever with me, and I with Thee, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one

Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight
Be thou my whole armour and be Thou my might
Thou my soul's shelter, and Thou my strong tower
Raise Thou me heavenward, great Power of my power

Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise
Thou mine inheritance now and always
Thou and Thou only the first in my heart
Sovereign of heaven, my treasure Thou art

High King of heaven, when victory's won
Grant heaven's joys to me, O bright heaven's sun
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all
