Make Me An Instrument of Thy Peace by Mary McDonald

Date(s) Performed: March 8

Lyrics

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Wherever there’s despair, hope.
Where there’s darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.

O Lord, 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.
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.

For it is in giving that we receive.
For it is by faith that we believe.
For in forgiving, we are forgiven.
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life!

Make me an instrument of Thy peace.
