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.
St. Richard of Chichester

Well Said: Thanks be to Thee, my Lord Jesus Christ
Recorded at his deathbed. This, to me, seems to be the perfect daily prayer. You may know it as the simplified song from Godspell.

What a lovely prayer. I had never heard of St. Richard. Looked him up on Wikipedia and they had an interesting bio. Thanks Julie.
