Author: James Quinn, b. 1919; St. Francis of Assisi, 1182-1226 Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #630 (1994) Lyrics: 1 Lord, make us servants of your peace:
Where there is hate, may we sow love;
Where there is hurt, may we forgive;
Where there is strife, may we make one.
2 Where all is doubt, may we sow faith;
Where all is gloom, may we sow hope;
Where all is night, may we sow light;
Where all is tears, may we sow joy.
3 Jesus, our Lord, may we not seek
To be consoled, but to console,
Nor look to understanding hearts,
But look for hearts to understand.
4 May we not look for love's return,
But seek to love unselfishly,
For in our giving we receive,
And in forgiving are forgiven.
5 Dying, we live, and are reborn
Through death's dark night to endless day;
Lord, make us servants of your peace,
To wake at last in heaven's light. Topics: Christian Living; Love; Peace; Sacraments/Rites Reconciliation Languages: English Tune Title: O WALY WALY
