Lord, make me an instrument of your 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!


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;

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Lead me beside still waters,

restore my faith in mankind if you can.

Show me how to love my brother,

open my heart so I may understand.

We're different from each other,

yet we're not so different after all.

We're all here for one reason

to spread peace and love

among the human race.

Reach out and touch your brother.

Take his hand and start a chain of love.

One hand within another

and God will smile upon us from above.
