Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light


Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Fa-ther, I thy true child
Thou in me dwelling, by love reconciled (intro)

Riches I need not, nor earth's empty praise
Thou mine inheritance now and always
Thou and thou on-ly, first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art (intro)

High King of heaven my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'n's Sun
Heart of my heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
