Prayer of Saint Francis D’Assisi
(A Prayer for Peace)
Lord, make me an instrument of your 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;
And 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;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE
(Prayer of St. Francis D'Assisi)
1. Make me a channel of Your peace
Where there is hatred
let me bring Your love
Where there id 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.
2. Make me a channel of Your peace
Where there’s despair
in life let me bring hope
Where there is
darkness, Lord, Your shining light
And where there’s
sadness, ever, joy
3. 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.

Up the Hills of Nongstoiñ Town,
With serene climate all around;
There stands unique for all to see,
Saint Francis School in majesty.
With nature’s blessings

And tall pine trees grow

They cheer our hearts and

The friendly knowledge of

We look at you with hearts of cheer,
Lead us ahead all through the years.

But praiseworthy of what we do.

So out from here and to the world,
They salute you with heart and soul.
