King James (Authorised) Version
A Prayer of St Bede (c.672-735)
AND I PRAY THEE, loving Jesus, that as Thou hast graciously given me to drink in with delight the words of Thy knowledge, so Thou wouldst mercifully grant me to attain one day to Thee, the fountain of all wisdom and to appear forever before Thy face.
