Prayer of Saint Francis

讀協記既應該都好熟呢首 hymn, 呢首係其中唱得最多既一首。一直都覺得呢首 hymn 既 melody 好好聽，但就其實一直都唔知佢講乜，唱咗咁多年一直都係唸口枉。
兩個星期前既一個 sunday service, 再唱返呢首詩歌，發現ｄ歌詞原來寫得好靚。再加上嗰日既 sermon 同呢首歌好呼應，聽完 sermon 再唱呢首歌真係好正。

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 to all men that we receive

And in dying that we are born to eternal life.

其實好多時唱詩既時候，都冇乜留意歌詞，其中一個原因係因為好多時我連首歌都唔識唱，我淨係顧住唱準個音（尤其是我呢Ｄ五音不太全既人）都已經用去咗我大部份既 processing power, 邊有時間去留意歌詞？但間唔中當你有機會睇睇ｄ歌詞既時候，就會發現原來好多既詩歌ｄ詞真係好靚好正。當你明白一首歌既內容之後，再歌落去都會有味道，有 feel 得多。
