ANTHEM
Pilgrim’s Hymn
Words: Michael Dennis Browne | Music: Stephen Paulus (1949-2014)
Even before we call on your name to ask you, O God.
When we seek for the words to glorify you, you hear our prayer.
Unceasing love, O unceasing love, surpassing all we know,
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Even with darkness sealing us in, we breathe your name,
and through all the days that follow so fast, we trust in you.
Endless your grace, O endless your grace, beyond all mortal dream.
Both now and for ever, and unto ages and ages, Amen.

Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace
Words: Based on a prayer attributed to St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226)
Music: Howard Helvey (b. 1968)
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, let there be pardon;
Where there is doubt, let there be faith;
Where there is anguish, let there be hope;
Where there is darkness, let there be light;
Where there is sadness, let there be 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 into Eternal Life.
Amen.
