Today I was reminded or informed (I’m unclear whether I never knew or forgot) of Richard of Chichester’s poem:
Thanks be to Thee, my Lord Jesus Christ
For all the benefits Thou hast given me,
For all the pains and insults Thou hast borne for me.
O most merciful Redeemer, friend and brother,
May I know Thee more clearly,
Love Thee more dearly,
Follow Thee more nearly.
I’m sure I first heard these lines in and remembered them from a song from a musical. Day by Day, Godspell.
