The beautiful prayer of St. Benedict -"O gracious and holy Father give us wisdom to perceive thee, diligence to seek thee, patience to wait for thee, eyes to hold thee, a heart to meditate on thee and a life to proclaim thee through the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord" - is set to beautiful melody and harmonies by Bob Benson, an Anglican musician from Ohio. With or without handbells this will be a favorite anthem of choir and congregation.
