Text: Prayer of St. Richard of Chichester, 1197-1253
This setting of the Prayer of St. Richard of Chichester by Mark Patterson will be a good addition to your repertoire this Lenten season. The text teaches children to know the Lord more clearly, love the Lord more dearly, and follow the Lord more nearly, day by day. The optional viola part adds a sense of longing and anticipation. A congregational page is included for churches wishing to use the refrain as a response during Lent.
