Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Lord, make me an instrument 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;
For it is in giving that we receive
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is in dying that we are born again
to eternal life.
