(We Version)

Lord, make us a channel of your peace

   – that where there is hatred may we bring love

   – that where there is wrong may we bring a spirit of forgiveness

   – that where there is discord may we bring a spirit of harmony

   – that where there is error may we bring truth

   – that where there is doubt may we bring faith

   – that where there is despair may we being hope

   – where there is sadness may we bring joy.

Lord, grant that we 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 that one awakens to eternal life.  

Amen
