Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace
A sensitive and moving setting of the prayer of St Francis.
LYRICS:
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy; and all for thy mercy's sake.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
(Text of unknown 19th-century authorship; formerly ascribed to St Francis of Assisi, 1181–1226)
A Double Celebration
