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.
Paraphrased by James Quinn, after St. Francis of Assisi
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts,
Heav'n and earth are full of Thy glory:
Glory be to Thee, O Lord Most High.
Christ is the world's true light, its captain of salvation,
The daystar clear and bright of every race and nation.
New life, new hope awakes, for all who own His sway;
Freedom her bondage breaks, and night is turned to day,
And night is turned to day, and night is turned to day.
George W. Briggs, 1931, alt.
Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove, with light and comfort from above.
Come, be our guardian and our guide; o'er every thought and step preside.
The light of truth to us display and make us know and chose your way.
Plant holy love in every heart, that we from God may ne'er depart.
Simon Browne, 1720 alt.
