”Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love;
Where there is injury – your pardon, Lord;
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.
Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved, as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is despair in life let me bring hope;
Where there is darkness, only light;
And where there's sadness, ever joy.
Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved, as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving to all men that we receive;
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.
Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved, as to love with all my soul.”
St Francis of Assisi
