Author: Francis of Assisi, 1182-1226; James Quinn, 1919- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #739 (1997) 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: Children and Youth Peace; Discipleship; One Life in Christ Peace; Reconciliation; Servant / Service Scripture: Matthew 6:12-15 Languages: English Tune Title: OTTERSPOOR
