Prayer for World Peace
• Welcome• Peace Greetings from around our
World• Call to Worship - Words from the Hindu Tradition
Gathering Song: Prayer of Saint Francis
All:
1. Make me a channel of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bringh your love. Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord. And where there’s doubt, true faith in you.
2. 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.
Refrain:
O Master, grant that I may never seekSo much to be consoled, as to console,To be understood as to understand,To be loved as to love with all my soul.
3. 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.

Reflections on Peace
• From the prophet Isaiah
– Quiet reflection
• Response by Grade 4:
What a goodly thing
If the children of the world
could dwell together
in peace.
A Prayer for the Worldby
Rabbi Harold Kushner
Let the rain come down and wash away the ancient grudges, and bitter hatreds held and nurtured over generations.
Let the rain wash away the memory of the hurt and the neglect.
Then let the sun come out and
fill the sky with rainbows.
All:
Let the warmth of the sun
heal us wherever we are
broken. Let it burn away
the fog so that we can see
each other clearly, so that
we can see beyond labels,
beyond accents, gender
or skin color.
Let the warmth and
brightness of the sun melt
our selfishness, so that we
can share the joys and
feel the sorrows of our
neighbors.All:
Let the light of the sun
be so strong that we will
see all people as our
neighbors.
Let the earth, nourished by rain, bring forth flowers
to surround us with beauty. All:
And let the mountains teach our hearts to
reach upward to heaven. Amen.
Intercessions for Peace
Let our response be:
God of peace, please hear our
prayer.
God of peace, please hear our prayer.
Blessing of Peace
Concluding Song
All: (Please repeat after Grade 4)
Go now in peace, go now in peace,
May the love of God surround you,
Everywhere, everywhere, you may go.
