”Make Me a Channel of Your Peace” hymn version
of The Peace Prayer of Saint Francis
Adapted by Sebastian Temple
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's despair in life let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness, ever joy
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
The Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi:
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.
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;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.
Rugaciunea Sfantului Francisc din Assisi
Doamne, fa din mine unealta Pacii Tale
Acolo unde este ura s-aduc iubire,
Acolo unde este ofensa s-aduc iertare,
Acolo unde este dezbinare s-aduc unire,
Acolo unde este greseala s-aduc adevar,
Acolo unde este neincredere s-aduc credinta,
Acolo unde este disperare s-aduc speranta,
Acolo unde este intuneric s-aduc lumina ta,
Acolo unde este tristete s-aduc bucurie.
O, Stapane, nu te-am cautat atat
Spre a fi consolat... cat pentru a consola,
Spre a fi inteles... cat pentru a intelege,
Spre a fi iubit... cat pentru a iubi.
Deoarece:
Dand... primesti,
Pierzand... gasesti,
Iertand... esti iertat,
Murind... reinvii la viata eterna!
