Nought 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 High King of heaven, my victory won,
may I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heav'n’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O ruler of all. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 Used With Tune: SLANE Text Sources: Early Irish
