Oh Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace: Where there is hatred, may I bring love, Where there is offence, may I bring forgiveness, Where there is discord, may I bring union, Where there is doubt, may I bring the faith, Where there is error, may I bring the truth, Where there is despair, may I bring hope, Where there is sadness, may I bring joy, Where there is darkness, may I bring light. Grant, oh Master, that I may seek not so much to be comforted, as to comfort, to be understood, as to understand, to be loved, as to love. For it is thus: In giving, we receive, in forgiving, we are forgiven, in dying, we rise again to eternal life. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OPPOSITES by KATHERINE MANSFIELD GLAMOUR by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON HYBRIDS OF WAR: A MORALITY POEM: 4.
