Attributed to Saint Richard of Chichester and found in the lyrics of the song “Day by Day” from the musical Godspell, are the words “To See Thee More Clearly”. While not a direct quote from the Bible, the concept of desiring to know God more fully is a common theme in scripture. The well-known Prayer itself in full is, “May I See thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, follow thee more nearly, day by day.”
This beautiful Prayer is a good analogy of how most Christian believers want their faiths to grow and by attending Church Services on a regular basis and hearing the Words of the Priest or Vicar clearly as they read the Sermon every Sunday is all part of how that desire to grow is achieved. Many modern and older-style Church Buildings in particular, with their nooks, crannies and stone pillars, make it difficult to produce clear sound and ensure that every member of the eager congregation can see any screens. That’s why a professional, experienced, Church Sound Systems specialist is in such high demand for their bespoke and essential services.
The spoken word alongside the traditional hymns and modern Worship music are often the most crucial means of conveying the Christian message, so enabling every member of the congregation to see and hear clearly every word that is said and sung is crucial to encouraging people to return to Church every week.
