None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee

CONCLUDING HYMM (1)

Prayer of Saint Francis

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

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
Chorus:

Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek

So much to be consoled, as to consoled
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
CONCLUDING HYMM (2)

Gates of trouble we’re sure to get through.
