Thanks to donhenri01

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Be all else but naught to me, save that Thou art.
Be Thou my best thought, in the day and the night,
Both Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

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

Be Thou, and Thou only, the first in my heart;
O Sovereign of Heaven, my treasure Thou art;
Be Thou Thou my vision, O ruler of all..

[JesusTVaustria]

I must correct myself a little: From van Morrison there comes only the lyrics. The song is an old ancient Irish hymn from the 8th century.

Van Morrison alias George Ivan Morrison

Van already wanted to become musician as a child. His father collected old jazz and Bluesrecords which influenced him apparently early. At the age of six years he went with his father to record shops and heard the music from Mahalia Jackson, Fats Domino, Ray Charles and many other. Moreover, he visited with his mother often the services in which gospel song music was played. At the age of twelve he belonged the Band „Deannie of sand And The Javelins“.
