Prayer Of St Francis / Mi’kmaq Honor Song
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
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

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
