Norwich Cathedral, St. AnselmO everlasting God,
who gavest to thy servant Anselm
singular gifts as a pastor and teacher:
grant that we, like him,
may desire thee with our whole heart
and, so desiring, may seek thee

who liveth and reigneth with thee,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
