Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art:
Thou my best thought, by day and by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
2 Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower,
Raise thou me heav'nward, O Pow'r of my pow'r.
3 Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou, and Thou only, first in my heart,
great God of heaven, my treasure Thou art.
4 Light of my soul, 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. Topics: Trust, Guidance Languages: English Tune Title: SLANE
