Lord, make me a channel of thy peace –
That where there is hatred, I may bring love-
Thank where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness –
That where there is discord, I may bring harmony –
That where there is error, I may bring truth –
That where there is doubt, I may bring faith –
That where there is despair, I may bring hope –
That where there are shadows, I may bring light –
That where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted –
To understand, than to be understood –
To love, than to be loved.
For it is in self-forgetting that one find.
It is in forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying, that one awakens to Eternal Life.
