Prayer of St. Francis for Children's Choir - Institutional License

St. Francis' humble prayer is made into song. The Prayer of St. Francis contains mostly unison, with a short passage of simple ostinato accompaniment. I wrote this for children who were learning to read patterns in triple-meter.

Text:

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;

where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may

not seek consolation as to console,

to be understood as to understand,

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

it's in forgiving that we're forgiven,

it is in dying that we awaken to eternal life.
