Make Me a Channel of Thy Peace - Daniel Maharaj

Make Me a Channel of Thy Peace - Swami Nirakarananda

July 24, 2018

  This hymn is also popularly known as The Prayer of St. Francis though there is dispute on the authorship. Nevertheless, it is a heart touching peace prayer.
Found this beautiful image of St Francis preaching to the birds and another with his friend, brother wolf from Google search.

 The lyrics followed by Swami Nirakarananda ji is as follows:

Make me a channel of Thy Peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring Your love;
Where there is injury Your pardon Lord;
And where there is doubt, true faith in You.

Chorus:
Oh 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 Thy peace.
Where there is despair in Life, let me bring hope;
Where there is darkness, only light;
And where there is sadness, ever joy.
Chorus:

Make me a channel of Thy peace.
It is in the pardoning that we are pardoned;
In giving to all men that we receive,
And in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Chorus:
