Tune: St Stephen
(\'In Christ there is no east or west\')
Based on a Formal Prayer
**********
Grant us, Lord, the courage we need
To change the things indeed
That we can change, and it be known
That good seeds there be sown
Grant us, Lord, your serenity
To accept things that be
That which we cannot change, and peace
Sure in our hearts release
And grant too wisdom, that we know
The difference, and show
What can be changed, and what cannot
Each ordained in its lot
Guard us that we not go ahead
Where we would be misled
Not taking courage, try to change
Things outside of our range
And guard that we not do nothing
Where we could a change bring
Not serene inactivity
Not stale dull apathy
So with your help your will be done
Through us, your kingdom come
Wisdom you will grant if we ask
To deal with life, each task
