2  Thou   my  great  Father,   I Thy true  son;
3  Thou   and   Thou   only,   first in my heart,
4  Heart of my own heart, what-ever   be - fall,

   Bm        A/C# D         D/F# G        G/A  D
1  Waking    or   sleeping, Thy  presence my   light.
2  Thou in   me   dwelling, and  I with   Thee one.
3  High King of   heaven,   my   Treasure Thou art.
4  Still be  my   Vision,   O    Ruler    of   all.
