This hymn is based on the prayer of the Venerable Bede (673-735), teacher of the faith and translator of the Scriptures: “I pray you, good Jesus, that, as you have given me the grace to drink in with joy the word that gives knowledge of you, so, in your goodness, you will grant me to come at length to yourself, the Source of all wisdom, to stand before your face for ever. Amen.”
