"Be Thou My Vision" (Old Irish: Rop tú mo baile or Rob tú mo bhoile) is a traditional Christian hymn of Irish origin. The words are based on a Middle Irish poem that has traditionally been attributed to Dallán Forgaill.[1]
The best-known English version, with some minor variations, was translated in 1905 by Mary Elizabeth Byrne in 1905, then made into verse by Eleanor Hull and published in 1912. Since 1919 it has been commonly sung to an Irish folk tune, noted as "Slane" in church hymnals,[1][2] and is one of the most popular hymns in the United Kingdom.

English Lyrics by Eleanor Hull

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 and sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and 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 my Breastplate, my Sword for the fight;Be Thou my whole Armor, be Thou my true Might;Be Thou my soul's Shelter, be Thou my strong Tow’r,O raise Thou me heav’nward, great Pow’r of my pow’r.

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise;Be Thou mine inheritance, now and always;Be Thou and Thou only the first in my heart,O high King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, Thou heaven's bright Sun,O grant me its joys, after vict'ry is won;Great Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,Still be Thou my vision, O Ruler of all.

Although there are quite a few variations, not the least of which being the original Old Irish version.
