Three Things We Pray
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A three-fold liturgical prayer drawing on the ancient Agnus Dei text and attributed to 13th-century English bishop Richard of Chichester, asking the Lamb of God for mercy and peace. The title 'Three Things We Pray' reflects the three petitions of the Agnus Dei.
Thanks be to thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which thou hast given us; for all the pains and insults which thou hast borne for us.
O most merciful Redeemer, friend,
and brother, may we know thee
more clearly, love thee more
dearly, and follow thee more
nearly, for thine own sake.
Amen.
