You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
Who abide in His shadow for life

And famine will bring you no fear

Lest you dash your foot against a stoneRefrain

Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His handCoda
And hold you, hold you in the palm of His hand
Recessional Hymn
Make me a Channel of your Peace
Verse 1
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 YouVerse 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 joyVerse 3
Oh 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 soulVerse 4
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 into eternal lifeVerse 5
Oh 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 soulVerse 6
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
And where there's sadness ever joy
