Lyrics

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace

Where there is hatred, let me sow love

Where there is hurt, forgiveness

Where there is doubt, faith

Where there is despair, hope

Where there is darkness, light

Where there is sadness, joy

O Divine Creator

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 forgiving that we are forgiven

It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life
