One More Gift

By Manoling Francisco, SJ
Refrain (English)
If there's one more gift
I'd ask of You, Lord
It would be peace here on earth;
As gentle as Your children's laughter
All around, all around
Your people have grown weary
Of living in confusion
When will we realize
That neither heaven is at peace
When we live not in peace Refrain (Filipino)
Refrain (Filipino)
Ang isang handog
Na aking hiling
Kapayapaan sa mundo
Gaya ng saya ng Yong mga anak
Sa piling Mo
Hinihintay ang Yong awa
At kapayapaan
Bigyan Mo po kami ng Yong pag-ibig
Ng mapanatag ang aming puso
Refrain (English)
Grant me serenity within
For the confusions around
Are mere reflections
Of what's within
What's within me Refrain (Filipino)
Nagdiriwang ang bayan
Sa Espiritung Banal
Na Yong buong puso na ibinigay
Sa lahat, sa lahat ng bansa
