Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Naught 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 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 ♪ Away in a manger, no crib for His bed The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever and love me, I pray Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care And take us to Heaven to live with Thee there ♪ High King of Heaven, my 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
