Anthem text
Be in my seeing,
O God of my heart:
all is as nothing
beside heaven's King.
Be in my thinking
by day and by night.
Be in my sleeping,
the dream of my soul.
Be in my speaking;
be light of my mind.
Be, Lord, within me;
may I be in you.
Be my dear Father;
may I be your child.
Be my own always;
take me as your own.
Be, Lord, my war-shield,
the sword in my hand.
Be my high honor;
be all my delight.
Be my protection,
my fortress of strength.
Bring me where angels
are singing your praise.
Be my salvation
in body and soul.
Be my true kingdom
in heav'n and on earth.
Be my own loved one,
great joy of my heart,
You and no other,
O heaven's high King.
