mulls Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 (edited) being born and raised a catholic and attending catholic grammar school for 8 years allowed me to pretty much memorize our parish's hymn book, the good ol' Glory & Praise! i have a lot of free time at my job (bellhop at a hotel). when people aren't checking in it's extremely slow, so sometimes i go outside and praise the Lord for a bit. sometime's i'll sing songs from my current church in my head or under my breath, sometimes i'll make up lmy own yrics (i'm a decent freestyler). and sometimes i'll remember some catholic hymns. lately, i've had a tune stuck in my head, and i can't remember what it is. i think it's called Prayer of St. Francis.' i can't remember the lyrics, but i know how the music goes, and i remember the first line of the chorus: "Make me a channel of your peace...." can somebody help me out and find the lyrics to this for me? it's driving me nuts! i remember that this was a beautiful song, i just hope i still agree with all the lyrics (or rather, that they agree with me!) Thanks all. Edited August 21, 2003 by mulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleflower+JMJ Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS verse 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. Refrain: Oh 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.. Verse 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 wheres sadness ever joy. Refrain verse 3.) make me a channel of your peace, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned. in giving in ourselves that we recieve and in dying that we're born to eternal life refrain *hope that helps! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman82 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 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. Oh, 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. 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 Oh, 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. 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.

mulls Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 here's another favorite of my class, because our music teacher would play it on the piano real fast and it was fun trying to sing as fast as possible and keep up with the tempo. I only know the chorus and first verse off the top of my head. King of Glory refrain: The King of Glory comes the nation rejoices open the gates before him lift up your voices 1. Through all of Galilee in city or village He goes among His people curing their illness i think i got it right. let me try and think of some more, this is gonna be a good thread. i can personally go for some lighthearted posting at the moment. the debate table is making my head hurt.
