Il signore, mi rende uno strumento della vostra pace
(Lord make me, make me an instrument of your peace)
Dove ci e odio lasciarlo seminare l'amore
(Where there is hatred, let me sow love)
Dove ce e ferita (where there is injury) perdono (pardon)
Dove ci e dubbio (where there is doubt) fede (faith)
Dove ci e disperazione (where there is despair) sperare (hope)
Dove ci e nerezza (where there is darkness) illuminarsi (light)
Dove ci e la tristezza (where there is sadness) gioia (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 (as to love)
For it is in giving that we receive
(It is in pardoning that we are pardoned)
It is in dying that we are born again
(It is in dying that we are born again)
It is in dying that we are born again
To eternal life
Il signore
Mi rende uno strumento della vostra pace
(Lord, make me) make me an instrument (il signore)
Of Your peace
