Please change the eyes of the world,
dear Lord,
to see as You see
the glory and the joy
and the lifting up in peace.

Please change the ears of the world,
dear Lord,
to hear as You hear
the beauty in the songs
and the praising grace recalled.

Please change the mind of the world,
dear Lord,
to think as You think
the wisdom of kindness
and the patience of the soul.

Please change the heart of the world,
dear Lord,
to love as You love
the granting of mercy
and the acceptance of all.

Please change the tribe of the world,
dear Lord,
to live as You live
with charity, hope, love
and forgiving rest in Thee.
