Translation / lyrics in English:

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, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

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.

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.

Translation / lyrics in Chinese:

求作我遠象，我心中主宰；
萬事皆虛空，除我主以外。
主是我晝夜最美思想，
清醒或睡眠恩光仍照亮。

求作我智慧，我心中真道；
容我常就主，蒙主親引導；
主是我真父偉大慈愛，
求住我心中作唯一主宰。

不羨慕財富，和虛空稱讚，
主是我現在和永遠嗣產；
主在我心中永居首位，
天上大君王才是最珍貴。

天上大君王，天上大輝光，
得勝的喜樂，是我所渴望；
我心之中心南針是賴，
仍作我遠象，管理的主宰。
