Our Hymn for September 2025 is 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 and by night;
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, 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 dignity, Thou my delight.
Thou my soul’s shelter, Thou my hight tower;
Raise Thou me Heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise;
Thou mine inheritance, now and always.
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s sun!
Heart of my heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.
