Thanks be to Thee, my Lord Jesus Christ,

For all the benefits which

Thou hast given me,

For all the pains and insults

which Thou hast borne for me,

O most merciful redeemer,

Friend and Brother,

May i know Thee more clearly,

Love Thee more dearly

And follow Thee more nearly.

 

PRAYER OF ST RICHARD

BISHOP OF CHICHESTER 1245 - 1253
