Bi Thusa Mo Shúile (Be Thou My Vision) Lyrics
(Trad. - arrangement by Máire Brennan)
(Translated by my late grandfather, Hugh Duggan)
Bí Thusa mo shúile a
Rí mhor na ndúil
Líon thusa mo bheatha mo
Cheadfaí 's mo stuaim
Bí thusa I m'aigne
Gach oiche 's gach lá
Im chodladh no im dhúiseacht
Líon me le do grá
Bí thusa mo threorú I mbriathar
Is I mbeart
Fan thusa go deo liom
Is coinnigh me ceart
Glac cúram mar Athair
Is eist le mo ghuí
Is tabhair domsa áit conaí
Istigh I do chroí
(NB: this is not a direct translation, but the original
English lyrics to Be Thou My Vision:
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)
