Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory... (Colossians 3:1-4)

"Be Thou my Vision" is a well known hymn.
Lyrics
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, be 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 armour, be thou my true might
Be thou my sole shelter, be thou my strong tower
O raise thou my upward great power of my power
Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise
Be thou mine inheritance now and always
Be thou and thou only the first in my heart
O sovereign of heaven my treasure thou art
High king of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joy, O bright heaven's sun
Great heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be thou my vision, O ruler of all
