MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE

"Make Me a Channel of Your Peace" is a beloved setting of the classic prayer attributed to St. Francis of Assisi. It is a staple in our parishes, carrying a profound message of selflessness, reconciliation, and surrender. Choirs often sing this during the Offertory or as a Communion meditation, reminding the congregation of our shared call to bring light to darkness and hope to despair. The melody is gentle and flowing, allowing the weight of the words to truly sink in as the voices rise.

Paired with it on this sheet is "To Do Your Will Is My Desire," a quiet hymn of dedication. The verses speak of a deep yearning to follow God's path and find comfort in His presence. It works beautifully for moments of consecration or quiet reflection after Communion, when the church is still and the faithful are deep in prayer.

Together, these two pieces give a choir the perfect material to lead a sincere prayer of offering. The simple solfa arrangements make them accessible to learn, ensuring the focus remains entirely on the earnest plea of the lyrics.
