St. Francis

Lord make me an instrument

of Thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master; grant that I may

not so much seek to be consoled as

to console; to be understood as to

understand; to be loved as to love;

for it is in giving that we receive,

and it is in pardoning that we are

pardoned, and it is in dying that

we are born to eternal life.

God looked around His garden,

And found an empty place.

He then looked down upon this

Earth and saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you

And lifted you to rest,

God’s garden must be beautiful

He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering

He knew you were in pain

He knew that you would never

Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was

Getting rough and the hills

Were hard to climb.

So He closed your weary eyelids

And whispered "Peace be Thine"

It broke our hearts to lose you

But you didn't go alone,

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.
