The heavens are telling the glory of God, 🎼
and all creation is shouting for joy.

Come dance in the forest,

come, play in the field,

and sing, sing to the glory of the Lord.

1.  Sing to the sun, the bringer of day,

he carries the light of the Lord in his rays;

the moon and the stars who light up the way unto your throne.

2. Praise tothe wind that blows through the trees,

the seas mighty storms, the gentlest breeze;

they blow where they will, they blow where they please to please the Lord.

3. Sing to the earth who makes life to grow,

the creatures you made to let your life show;

the flowers and trees that help us to know the heart of love.

To ev'ry thing there is a season 🎼
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time for harvest;
A time to meet and a time to part.

Nothing can grow in barren soil;
briars and ravens take their toll;
still there is grain a hundredfold,
from seed that took root and grew.

To ev'ry thing there is a season;
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time for joy and a time for grieving;
A time to seek and a time to lose.

God's word is like the farmer's seed,
Rooted in joyful, loving hearts,
Growing like grain in fertile ground,
A harvest that overflows.

To ev'ry thing there is a season;
a time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time for harvest;
a time to meet and a time to part,
a time to meet and a time to part.

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. 

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.

O 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 of ourselves that we receive.
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.

Saint Francis, our brother,
you who eight hundred years ago
went to meet Sister Death as a man at peace,
intercede for us with the Lord.

You recognized true peace,
In the Crucifix of San Damiano,
teach us to seek in Him
the source of all reconciliation
that breaks down every wall.

You who, unarmed, crossed the lines of
war and misunderstanding,
give us the courage to build bridges
where the world raises up boundaries,

In this time afflicted by conflict and division,
intercede for us so that we may become peacemakers:
unarmed and disarming witnesses of the peace
that comes from Christ. Amen.
