[Verse 1]
E          C#m        A          E
Be Thou my vision O Lord of my heart
B              C#m         A         B
Nought be all else to me, save Thou art
C#m           A           E        A
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
E          C#m            A      B    E
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
 
[Verse 2]
E           C#m          A        E
Be Thou my wisdom, Thou my true word
B       C#m             A          B
I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord
C#m            A         E           A
Thou my great Father and I Thy true son;
E          C#m           A        B   E
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
 
[Verse 3]
E         C#m            A           E
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise
B          C#m         A       B
Thou mine inheritance now and always
C#m            A          E      A
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart
E            C#m         A        B    E
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art.
 
[Chorus]
   B          C#m       A      B
O God be my everything, be my delight
      B       C#m       A       B
Be Jesus my glory, my soul satisfied (2x)
 F#m  G#m  A       B
My Jesus, You satisfy (4x)
 
[Verse 4]
E             C#m        A          E
High King of heaven, after vict’ry won,
B            C#m           A            B
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun!
C#m          A             E      A
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
E           C#m        A    B   E
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all. (this line 2x)
 
[Chorus]
   B          C#m       A      B
O God be my everything, be my delight
      B       C#m       A       B
Be Jesus my glory, my soul satisfied (2x)
 
 
End
To end the song it sounds great with Guitar 1 finger picking the verse chords
softly with stringed instrument accompaniment (if available) to give body.
