Audrey Assad's rendition of 'Be Thou My Vision' is a modern interpretation of the classic Irish hymn. The song is a prayerful surrender, asking God to be the central focus of one's life—the heart's true vision, wisdom, and treasure. It expresses a desire for God's presence to guide every moment, day and night, and for His will to be done. The lyrics reflect a deep longing for intimacy with God, acknowledging Him as the ultimate inheritance and source of victory. This hymn has been cherished for centuries and continues to inspire believers to prioritize God above all else.

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 and 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;

O King of glory, my treasure Thou art.


O King of glory, my victory won;

Rule and reign in me ?til Thy will be done;

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall;

Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
