Most recently, lyrics from a song in a contemporary stage play, but originating in a 13th century hymnal, penned by Richard of Chichester (1197-1253), the following lyrics have become a personal prayer which express my deepest desires:
Day by day, dear Lord
of thee three things I pray:
to see thee more clearly,
love thee more dearly,
follow thee more nearly,
day by day.
