Slane, be thou my Vision 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. Be thou my wisdom, thou my true word I ever with thee, thou with me, Lord Thou my great Father, I thy true Son Thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one. Be thou my battleshield, sword for the fight Be thou my dignity, thou my delight Thou my soul's shelter, thou my high tower Raise thou me heavenward, O power of my power. 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 heavem, my treasure thou art. High King of heaven, 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.
