Make me a Channel of Your Peace
Text, Francis of Assisi, 13th cent.
Tune, Sebastian Temple, 1967
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. (Chorus)
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 your peace.
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope;
where there is darkness, let me bring our light;
and where there’s sadness ever joy. (Chorus)
Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
in giving to all people, we receive;
and in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

It clearly defines my role as servant to God’s older children.
“Where there is life let me bring hope”.
A part of my volunteer experience is spending time with lonely people. “Oh, master grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console”. The Lord has blessed me with the education and experience of a Hospice nurse. He has further blessed me by the opportunity to live at Raybrook and to provide me with volunteer opportunities. “Make me a channel of your peace where there is despair in life let me bring hope”.
