O God, from whom all wisdom
and knowledge come
help me do my studies well
open my mind to the truth.
Make me diligent and constant
in the pursuit of learning.
Give me an attentive mind Lord,
Keen and alert so that I can concentrate
And grasp my lessons.
Give me an eager mind lord
To learn something new everyday
And may my aim always be to pierce
The vent of the visible world to search You.
O Invisible, Eternal, Unchangeable Truth.
And where there’s doubt true faith in you.
Ch. 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
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope
And where there’s darkness only light
And where there’s sadness ever joy.
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.
