The only God

You are holy, Lord, the only God,

and your deeds are wonderful

You are strong

You are great

You are the most high, you are almighty

You, holy Father, are King of Heaven and earth

You are Three and One, Lord God, all good

You are Good, all Good, supreme Good, Lord God, living and true

You are love, You are wisdom

You are humility, You are endurance

You are rest, You are peace

You are joy and gladness

You are justice and moderation

You are all our riches, And you suffice for us

You are beauty

You are gentleness

You are our protector, You are our guardian and defender

You are courage

You are our haven and our hope

You are our faith, our great consolation

You are our eternal life, Great and wonderful Lord,

God almighty, Merciful Saviour

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 so much

seek to be consoled, as to console,

To be understood, as to understand,

To be loved, as to love,

For it is giving that we receive;

It is pardoning that we are pardoned;

It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
