1. MP 456 Make me a channel of your peace

    1. 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.

      O 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.

    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.

      O 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.

    3. Make me a channel of Your peace.
      It is in pardoning
      that we are pardoned,
      in giving to all men
      that we receive;
      and in dying
      that we’re born to eternal life.

  2. CH4 543 Christ be our light

    1. Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
      Longing for truth, we turn to you.
      Make us your own, your holy people,
      light for the world to see.

      Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts.
      Shine through the darkness.
      Christ, be our light!
      Shine in your church gathered today.

    2. Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
      Longing for hope, many despair.
      Your word alone has pow’r to save us.
      Make us your living voice.

      Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts.
      Shine through the darkness.
      Christ, be our light!
      Shine in your church gathered today.

    3. Longing for food, many are hungry.
      Longing for water, many still thirst.
      Make us your bread, broken for others,
      shared until all are fed.

      Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts.
      Shine through the darkness.
      Christ, be our light!
      Shine in your church gathered today.

    4. Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
      Longing for warmth, many are cold.
      Make us your building, sheltering others,
      walls made of living stone.

      Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts.
      Shine through the darkness.
      Christ, be our light!
      Shine in your church gathered today.

    5. Many the gifts, many the people,
      many the hearts that yearn to belong.
      Let us be servants to one another,
      making your kingdom come.

      Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts.
      Shine through the darkness.
      Christ, be our light!
      Shine in your church gathered today.
