Make Me A Channel of Your Peace

Like millions of people in America, I grew up listening to these sweetly aspiring words as a hymn while kneeling in a pew on Sunday mornings. I truly aspire to keep my channel of peace clear and clean so that the Great Holy Spirit and my muse may express divinity through me, moving hearts in the direction of theior highest good.

Make me a channel of your peace:

Where there is hatred, let me bring your love,

Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,

And where there’s doubt true faith in you.

 

Make me a channel of your peace:

Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope,

Where there is darkness, only light,

And where there’s sadness, ever joy.

 

O Master, grant that I may never seek

So much to be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand,

To be loved, as to love with all my soul!

 

Make me a channel of your peace:

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

In giving of ourselves that we receive,

And in dying that we are born to eternal life.
