| Lord make me an instrument |
| of Thy peace - |
| Where there is hatred, |
| I may bring love; |
| Where there is wrong, |
| I may bring the Spirit of forgiveness; |
| That where there is discord, |
| I may bring harmony; |
| Where there is error, |
| I may bring truth; |
| Where there is doubt, |
| I may bring faith; |
| Where there is despair, |
| I may bring hope; |
| Where there are shadows, |
| I may bring light; |
| Where there is sadness, |
| I may bring joy; |
| Lord, grant that I may seek rather |
| To comfort, |
| than to be comforted; |
| To understand, |
| than to be understood; |
| To Love, |
| than to be Loved; |
| For it is by self-forgetting |
| that one finds; |
| It is by forgiving |
| that one is forgiven; |
| It is by dying to self |
| that one awakens to Eternal Life. |
