1. Make me a channel of your peace:
   Where there is hatred, let me bring your love;
   where there is injury, your healing power,
   and where there’s doubt, true faith in you.
2. 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.
3. O, Spirit, 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.
4. Make me a channel of your peace:
   it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
   in giving to all that we receive,
   and in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

This song Adapter: Sebastian Temple (1928–1997) was raised in South Africa before relocating to London, where he contributed to BBC news broadcasts focused on South African affairs. After converting to Catholicism, he dedicated much of his life to creating music for worship. He is most notably known for composing “The Prayer of St. Francis,” a piece performed at Princess Diana’s funeral.
