Comment from my friend....
" Be Thou My Vision is anonymous. Between A.D. 500 and 700 the Irish church was synonymous with missionary fervor. One historian commented that their missionary effort "the one all-absording national thought and passion." Irish missionaries laboured from Scotland to Switzerland.  One of these missionaries was Columba of County Donegal. His biographer wrote, " "Certain spiritual songs, which had never been heard before; he was heard to sing." He was known as one of the poets of the Irish church.

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 Heav’n’s Sun
Heart of my own heart, whate’er befall
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all
Amen
